Yeah, you'd think something like that would hold its price regardless of the rules, much the same way as a scooter does. People buying small dual-purpose bikes do so regardless of whether they're restricted to them or not -- often they're bought because they're light, reliable, easier to punt around offroad than something 20kg heavier and with more power.
Road bikes on the other hand, there's not many riders out there who appreciate the advantages and fun of a small capacity road bike. Power is all people really worry about -- so you'd have to think that CBR250RR prices will drop like a stone, compared to an XR250.
