What the? Is this for Real?

So can some one tell me if this is to be released by Yamaha? If so it's gonna be a sweet 250.....

Finally Yamaha has something to beat the Kwaka's Ninja

would be the best looking twofiddy on the planet!

**Azza76** · 19-12-2009, 08:19 AM

My thoughts exactly......Betcha it would be close to the $10K mark though.....

Still think I would have spent the moolah if I was getting another 250...

**Barfridge** · 19-12-2009, 08:20 AM

The R4 250cc?

Looks like somebody has done a photoshop job on an R6, and done it poorly

**ashmo** · 19-12-2009, 08:24 AM

damn now everyones gonna think my R6 is a 250

**Gordan** · 19-12-2009, 08:37 AM

The image name is something like yamahayzr250r4ol0.jpg - so you would think its a yamaha yzr of some sort?

But the sticker on the bike says its a yzf?

Sorry but i think its a photoshop

**Macca** · 19-12-2009, 08:39 AM

and barfy for the win!

cool as it would be to see newer 250 out especially an inline 4 i can't see it happpening. although they are bringing out the yzf-125

Edit: found a comparison photo from netrider

**ashmo** · 19-12-2009, 08:42 AM

The 125 is already out causeway yamaha have one if anyone was interested.

**Macca** · 19-12-2009, 08:57 AM

i'd like to have a go on the 125 for fun

**Azza76** · 19-12-2009, 04:33 PM

Yeah, I thought it may have been a photo shop job hence the thread title but it's a big jump from the 125 to the 600 so thought they may have just filled the gap

Oh well.....

**Crimson** · 19-12-2009, 04:36 PM

I saw it a month or so back at Cully's yamaha, they had one in. It looks the business and is full sized, but its still a 125

Raptors and Rockets strikes again?

What's next?

"ET make contact with lone biker on Nullabor"

**thro** · 20-12-2009, 09:36 AM

Hmm.

So, R125 is out and it has shitty little 25mm right way up forks, bicycle tyres and a single non-radial front brake.

People see a pic of an R6 with an R4 badge on it, including twin radial brakes, ~40mm USD forks and 600 size tyres...

Believe it?

Fuck no.

That would be a $12,000+ 250 - and would have no market, even if it wasn't a photoshop job.

Yamaha has actually released a 250 (Or will be this year if it's not out yet). But it won't be released in Aus. The R125 was released overseas about 3-4 years ago, so expect the 250 here in about 3 years.

By that time LAMS will probably be nationwide so the market for 250's will shrink...

Pretty much, unless all the current buggering around results in the motorcycle initiative getting shelved... Which I'm hoping won't happen, yet I still wouldn't be surprised...

**M|ke** · 20-12-2009, 01:52 PM

Would be cool, but i really doubt it would be real. As people have said, they have already released a YZF-R125. Which i suppose is their offering to the <250cc market.

**suprastar** · 21-12-2009, 09:12 AM

That R4 is only available in Japan. Or everywhere else besides Aus.
Apparently Japan gets all sorts of 250/400cc bikes that we will never even see..

**ddmoore** · 21-12-2009, 10:10 AM

125 version? or are these old?
