I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Awesome. It's about time we got more small displacement bikes over here.

Oh!  Anyone know if a 500CC twin model is planned?

can't forget about the crf230m they make too. It weighs a LOT less. (less power too though)

true, but i'm thinking the market for those who want a beginner sport bike was practically non existent aside form a ninja 250, I really do hope others bring in 250 sportbikes. which i think will help with the ohh dude you need a 600 for your first bike bullshit.

I pondered that... but a light 500c twin would (in my little mind) fill a bit more of the "ohh dude you need a 600 for your first bike bullshit" gap than a 250 alone. Remember this is 'merica! Bigger is better

OK, but that really doesn't make it that much better.

It is the standard for that class in the US.  Plus, that's in factory form with their cheapest components.

got to hand it to honda that bike from the side looks great, 10x better than even the new ninja 250

ok maybe the rwb doesn't look good but the red scheme does look as good from the side on the honda site as any of their bikes.
