Good to hear they will go after the 250, next year, the more the merrier! Better for us fans. I also thought it might be about the $$, since they have put alot of money into the 125 program. I know they are very good at exploiting what the japanese think of as "niche marketing" and making really good bikes for classes or events that the others ignore then using that as a basis for moving into the bigger markets. I have seen a lot more orange bikes showing up at our local mx tracks, and it is a steady progression, they start with the 65, move to something else for a year or two and then show up with a SX125, (those things are fast!).
