Default GP125 and 250 back in the United States?

It is in the works, yet we haven't seen Kawasaki get involved with this YET here, furthering their sales before the others get involved. A street legal version of a 125 and even a 250 should be something we should ask for and push our sponsor and more importantly our Distributor for. I'd buy one of each if the prices are right. I'd buy the 250 first then end up buying the 125, just because I love motorcycle racing. I won't be competing, but that doesn't mean I can't ride one on the streets. I know that Kawasaki has the Technology and ability to build them, but we, the public are going to have to push some to get the bikes here and on the showroom floors. Who starts a campaign...why not have Beartooth Kawasaki be a leader in running a National poll or even let the International (as it is anyway) have some say in our poll? I say bring on the little bikes that can!

I'd be in for the 250....I'd like to learn how to race amateur and really scare myself.

Default SCARE?

I think not...If you can ride the dinosaur 900 (I have) then you will find todays versions of GP250 bikes about on par. Although the suspensions work much better the brakes and everything works so well, it makes riding your bike very difficult. I would be so very excited to have them available here in the US of A, and even to own one. I'd like to spend some time on the track, perhaps lots of time on the track if I could take it, but not compete against anyone only the clock. Should I goof and get pain, I wouldn't be able to handle the fact that I could take someone else out with me...
