How can one get a 125cc or 250cc sport bike into the US?

There is the Zongshen ZS200GS in the US. I saw one today at the Honda dealership. However, it is a pushrod motor and made in China, so probably not what your looking for...unless you are anticipating a continuing bad luck trend. Better it happen to that bike than a Duc.

Aprilia does bring the 125RS into the US, obviously as a track bike.  People have managed to register them in NYC though.  I'm not sure how they do it.

Apparently, some have managed to register them in California as well.  I snapped this little buzz bomb at The Rock Store a couple of weeks ago.  Sweet little ride.

Ive heard of this dealership making them street legal. Not sure how though. Looks like fun.

GP Motorcycles here in San Diego sells them street registered. [thumbsup]

 the yzf is a 4 stroke. the aprillia is a 2 stroke. too much work to maintain a 2 stroke for daily riding.

The Zongshen ZS200/250GS is a four stroke. Don't know anything about them, but they are street legal and cheap.

One of the old Suzuki GSXR250s (I-4) would be a killer on tight roads like Deal's Gap and such.  Honda also used to have a CBR400RR that would be a hoot also ~
