Yamaha YZF-R250 ?

UPDATED on 14th sep 2009 : SEE THE IMAGE HERE

Yes you read that right. Remember we told you about Suzuki working on smaller 125cc version of the GSX-R as well as a GSX-R250? (CLICK)

News is that Yamaha too are working on a 250cc version of the YZF-R125 to take on the likes of the new 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. It will be called the YZF-R250. We strongly believe that Yamaha will use the 250cc engine currently being used in the YZ250 moto-cross machine. That, as we all know, is a killer of a machine. The styling of the YZF-R250 might not be very different than the YZF-R125, but we can expect changes like may be fatter tyres etc.

MCN's 5th March edition also carries some more news on the same. We shall keep you updated! Meanwhile, you might want to read related stuff
