Can't wait to hear more about the ZX25R.

I hope the bike comes to the US.

If it doesn't, you should take a look and the Ninja 400.  It's a pretty significant jump over the 300.  It's a capable sport bike and does surprisingly well as a sport tourer... ask @Pauly

or @Blitz  and it's super fun to ride.

I was looking at the 650. The 400 is not much of a step up from the 300 but the seat height is right.

The new 250 is a 4 cylinder with a quick shifter and 59hp. I want to see more specs so I can compare them all.

I think the 400 is a better overall package than the 650.  I looked at both of them and the 900.   Still bought the 400.

 I'll let you ride it sometime...

I would love to test ride the 400. I know it is lighter than the 300 and has better acceleration. 

I considered the 650 since it is a step up and has great acceleration on the highway (my commute is all highway).

It will be next year before I am ready to buy another bike. So, I have time.

A track friend of mine went from a 696 monster to a track ready 650. She loved it, but found it a bit heavy. She tracked it for the last 3 seasons, but just recently bought a 400 for the track and gave the 650 to her boyfriend. I won't see her till Palmer in August (if everything is back to normal by then), but I can get her opinions on it for you if she manages to make it out earlier than that. As long as the tracks are open, she will.

The weight is not as much of an issue as the seat height.

But, I have been eye balling both bikes.

her thoughts on that would be different than you or I, she is quite a bit taller than we are.

I had no idea they grew that tall.

I think that is a pretty average specimen. The grow over 40ft tall according to the link.

They do grow very slowly so that one is probably over 100years old.
