That makes less HP than an R60/2. That is pathetic for a new machine.

My Yamaha TDR 250 was dyno tested @ 49.5 HP. Now that got me down the road!

Dougie, I am glad to be able to step in and help you. I see your question. I am sure that someone has ridden one. You are welcome.

The new 2011 single cylinder 250.
Honda did make a CBR250RR that was a 4 cylinder rev-crazy sportbike. Sadly it never was brought to North America.
