Is it because of emissions? It's a two stroke right? What would it take to make it street legal? I want one...

This thing produces a measley 14.7 horsepower anyway, nevermind. I guess I'll be looking even harder at Ninja 250's now, lol.

It's really a tossup between a 250 cc sportbike like the ninja or a drz400sm. I fell in lvoe with motards the first time I saw one in action, so THat may actually be the route I go. Time will tell though.

The article said the aprilla/yamaha hybrid was faster than most 600 0-80MPH or so, and handled, well you can imagine.

It was deff. a shoehorn job, but what a potent package for sub 100MPH riding!

DRZ, DRZ, DRZ :D

Honestly I would like a sportbike or cool cruiser for highway runs and a motard for everything else. Damn motards are just too much fun! I like the aprilia bikes (sport and motard) but they are race bikes and require alot of keep up. I hate to put a blanket statement like that on a single company but from everything I read that is what they are aimed at. Kickass looking and running bikes though!

Maybe a busa for cruising and a DRZ for the hooligan in me :147:

HAH! If you get a busa, you're gonna need something more than a DRZ for Hooligan time. If I end up actually getting a bike this time, it probably will be a motard.

yeah your right, slammed and stretched busa for the highway and KTM for everything else. Motard will come first though, just too much fun!

If someone would buy my Z I could get both pretty quick! :disappointed:

If it weren't tubbed and if I had money I would be all over that thing, I miss my old Z car. There's a nice KTM 625 SMC I posted from Thumpertalk in the other thread, you should seriously consider it.

I bought a DRZ 400 SM brand new a few years ago and had a BLAST on it. Screw a Ninja 250.
