Just read earlier that WSBK is doing a race series similar to the Red Bull Rookie Cup, and they will be using spec 250's.

With the (relatively) large price of the Moriwaki's, it makes sense that either Kawi or now Honda would be the machine supplier.

I believe it is for kids aged 14 to 17 yrs, to move them through the ranks of factory racing.

Interesting, I hope its a hit. The 250 class could use competition, especially in the likely future of even more expensive gas and a larger population of new riders

Us Pricing has been announced at $3999. The naked cb1000 is listed @ $10999. No price for the 600f so I don't think were getting that one yet.
