I didn't read it carefully I thought I read 1500 cc. I was stoked to see a 1500 R1. That would be insane. nvm 

[wikiwiki750]

LoL. Yeah, because the R1 is too slow.

At that point its just a conversation piece but still that powerband would be impressive

I'd ride.  But I like small bikes  

 

And I couldn't take the highway to work on it, which would suck.

I had a 250 for a while. It was the most fun for 75 mpg.

nice thing about the 150s is that you can legally park them on the sidewalk provided they do not block it.

I would love to see how the meter - nazis in downtown columbus would react to a sport - bike styled cycle on the sidewalk, 150 cc or otherwise. Better plan your day around a trip to the impound lot to be safe.

I am waiting on the KTM RC390.  That sounds like a ton of fun.

Has anyone gone on the Yamaha India site and read the bike descriptions? My personal favorite is for the SZ-RR (150cc bike)

 

The product concept behind SZ-RR is “Powerful & Comfortable! stylish Commuter. The SZ-RR is targeted at commuter customers with their sports-oriented interests and its designed to create the sensation of “High Speed”. The bike comes with front disc brake, tachometer and has tank protector added to the fuel tank to make it appear even larger.

 

I understand that the targeted market is vastly different but it still is funny. There advertisements are great, too. The FZ1 makes the statement that "The earth is 71 water. Damn it." Also the girl in the RAY is...well...

Lots of sub-200cc bikes in Europe. A well-tuned, fuel-injected 125cc engine can just about anything slower than a highway.

I'd probably place an ORC placard when sidewalk parking...
