They've been in Britain for a while now but as a 125cc road legal learner bike. Shame Yamaha don't do a 200cc version of the YZF R125 for you guys tho

I'm seriously loving how so many companies are coming out with smaller cc bikes in the US. Makes for an easier conversation to convince beginners to start small with this many options out there.:thumbup::cheer:

Agreed!, I also like that the small displacement bikes are getting much nicer as well. When kawasaki redid the ninjette, I wondered if they'd keep that design for next 20 years as well.

i dont know if this is in the states yet, but it would be nice. ive also heard rumors of a Duke 375 single, which sounds even better.

Ya its crazy how we in NA are spoiled with big displacment and high HP numbers.
For example most "cars" in India have less than 900CC engines in them.

I think, once our next generation starts to realize that oil really is a "non renewable" resource, we will see things change more.
In my day a big block V8 was pretty standard, now we can make the same power with a 2L 4 banger...lol..

I would be willing to bet that in 10 years or so there will be laws banning any motorcycles over 750CC..
If I am not mistaken Japan already has some kind of law in that regard.

After i got my FZ, the old man began questioning the need for his 1200cc BoxMW. now he just wants an FZ1 so he can 1up me (the FZ6 will spank his R1150r)
