hi rgv i understand what you mean bout this bike not being competitive which is why i have thought about this bike as a street project im just thinking that this engine would be great fun just as a street/fun bike and yes with a 300 kit it may well be competitive . also i think the 300 kit would be a good method of counteracting the effect of not having the wind protection of an nsr. i was just wondering surley someone must have tried this before as this really would be my idea of a perfect bike a 250 supermoto vtwin with a crazy two stroke powerband, i reckon if honda made a bike like this it would sell like hot cakes, well to us two stroke nuts at least:_)
