Not a two stroke, but pretty cool all the same. :mrgreen:

That's pretty cool. I think price is going to set how many of them they sell as it seems like more of a novelty. I could see a ton of them buzzing around NYC and other crowded citys.

Looks like fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOwGdUBjupE I wonder if it is coming to the US?

Edit, looks like it is listed on the Honda USA site as a current model but has a MSRP of $3,000. That's a little to much for me to spend on something like that. I would rather spend the extra couple bucks and get a Ninja 300.

I'm kind of kicking tires on a little 125 at the moment but I'd imagine just by the looks that the CB125R looks to be more of a complete bike... Is it true you guys don't have these offered in the States?

We do not get that bike Andrew. There is a 250 that looks similar to it that we get.

I love these little micro-sport bikes, it's really a shame that we rarely get them here in the US :(

It reminds me of the Cagiva Raptor 125, but with a couple extra strokes:
