About the same as your chances of winning the lottery if you spent 4.2million pounds on tickets.

I've ridden one. With a sensible exhaust the novelty value of revving the nuts off it soon wears off. With an exhaust like that I suspect something else would intervene first....

There's a mint one of the bay for 4 grand, and a cbr250 for 2k.


Both rev to 19k, they reckon 45hp too which is nice going!

I loved it, never knew of one of those before tbh, what a great sound.
On the other hand, I reckon I'd like to stab the bloke after about 15 minutes listening to his awful voice though.

Why do you think he's got such a daft pipe.

Anyway there are a few grey imported 250s in the UK and they've all been owned by 17 year old muppets, thrashed to death and just generally about as much of a good buy as a secondhand 125. Added to the fun and games of tiny, highly stressed components doing 14 squillion rpm to set off from a stop... errrm.... rather you than me mate

I want one. If nothing else just to pull away from busy cafés at a bazillion revs and 30mph. Would turn some heads and tickle some funny bones.
