Little Hondas and Suzukis

 Has anyone ever seen any Honda or Suzuki 250 "4 cylinder" sport bikes in the U.S.I'M curious how they perform and would love to hear that little engine turning 18,000 RPM in person.Just a perv for that kinda thing.

I have

Guy came in with a Honda CBR250R, the little four bangers like you're talking about. They are screamers, I had the honor of taking it for a spin. I get to ride a lot of cool stuff at work

They wrap up nicely, very nimble. It's about the size of an FZR400, maybe a little smaller. Beautiful bikes if you know what you're looking at. Shame they didn't sell any in the US.

Next on my list is a Yamaha R7, just because they're so rare, and the Yamaha RZ500 we've got in the back rotting away, trying to talk Orion out of that gem

 Yeah,I probably should have gotten into a bike shop 35 years ago when I started welding.Cause I can't get enough of the old or odd bikes.When my wife and I get our own place again I know I'll collect again.

Seriously, I can't think of a better place in the area I could work than where I am at. Everyone I work with are hardcore about restoring and building bikes. Some of the personal projects going on in the shop right now are Orion's CB550K cafe racer, Tim's TS250 pavement pounder and GL1100 street bob/cafe, my KZ750 tracker and my CB200 cafe racer. We also get a lot of interesting bikes/people coming thru our doors all the time.
