Oh hell yes I would!!!

I think this has been discussed on 'net forums around the uS but this is the official. At $5500 I am there, beats the hell out of a budget Ninja 250 track bike!

I'd rather have one of the 450 Super-Mono's

They had three of them out at Femmoto - and two out at the Aprilia even at my track the Thursday following. Twitchy little buggers... but fun as hell. They are TINY, almost too flickable. That just makes you a bit careful the first lap or so until you figure out you just keep the throttle pegged HIGH in the revs and go knee to knee on the ground - you'll be fine if you just stay with that formula

Why do they call it a track only bike, but fit it with lights and license plate holder?

The RS 250's were really good handling but a little down on power. I raced against some in teh lightweight twins class on my SV650. There were some black market support parts for them, a 350cc kit, some other stuff that made them pretty hard to deal with on track. Sure the Honda and Yam TZ250's would dust us both both they were alot of fun just overpriced.
This one however looks like it could beat out the Ninja 250 or used 600 as far as a track day toy. Which I need liek a hole in the head. And what Azoom said, full throttle pinned hi in the rpm range and flicking knee to knee, who needs more than that?

All the demo's were just like the picture - lights and plates
It makes you giggle while riding it though...

Which would be legal overseas but not here. My guess, just ship the same bike and not lose more of a potential profit having to make the same bike in track plastics. |

Probably cheaper than making them track specific, plus then they can make money off the track plastics.
