I will be interested to see who buys the 250. Forgetting the hideous front end (Suzuki and KTM  designers are obviously smoking the same shit), I don't see it being priced to tempt people from the 650  :shrug:

The only riders it may tempt are those on restricted licences but there are more desirable bikes within the horsepower range.

It may have a market if the fuel capacity and mpg figures equate to a massive range. It might make quite a nice long distance solo touring bike if, like me, you avoid motorways wherever possible.
