I’ll nominate the Kawasaki 250R. I’m almost tempted, even at my age.
ha!
that does sorta drive home an interesting point about P4s, shivs, and giants, doesn’t it?
i wonder how the profit margins compare…

Jack, that was entirely my point. 
lack of a carbon weave, disc breaks, mirrors, no hydration unit. triathletes will never buy this.
epic fail, how will you ever survive a 112.6mi ride without nutrition for an hour.
Wow - blast from my past. I had a Ninja 250 back in 1991. Last seen sliding down the road into a McDonald’s sign after a blue hair pulled out in front of me 
If it isn’t an Aprilia, no need to look at 250 cc road bikes. And if you are tall, no need to look at any of them.
Get yourself a Ducati or Triumph and get it over with.
More evidence that it is all about the engine.
But wouldn’t it still be faster if fitted with power cranks.
