The Yamaha r4, I was looking on the Internet and came across this and I was wondering if it was a joke or a real think that just isn't in the USA yet.

At this point it is just a rumour, and all of the photos are just speculation on the magazines and forums.
Yamaha has a 125 and 150 entry level bike, but they are just single cylinder jobs and extremely underpowered.
They will have to do something I would think, just like Honda has. They can't afford not to be in the most popular sized engine class for road bikes

Ok. That's what I thought but I saw it and was curious. Thanks

For those who haven't caught the buzz yet:

Yamaha R4 250 cc sports bike |

I wouldn't mind taking one for a spin, but would probably get one anyway, with inverted forks, dual disks and a proper shock in the rear. Even if it's a bit underpowered, it would be glued to the road!

I was wondering if It were to be coming out in the USA or not.
Btw nice article

Big thumbs up!!! Competition will only make the Ninja better........ At least I hope so. When we looked at 250's for my son the Honda just did not do it for either of us - coming from a guy who owns 3 Honda cars currently! The Yamaha however looks very tempting .

Well... what it lacks in the engine it makes up for in looks... hot! I'd totally take it for a spin!

wow! It does look good that's for sure! I also like how it has the sport seating position vs the more upright position...
