That is a very nice build. Unfortunately we never got that bike here in the US. Your engine shares more in common with the 305 than it does with the 250 we got here. Just out of curiosity where are you located? Us yankees rarely seem to get cafe bikes right so I know you aren't from the US. I'd love to get my hands on one of those but the shipping costs would be prohibitive.

I'm in Australia and I know what your saying about quality of cafe bikes getting built. The whole "rocker" concept seems to be a seperate entity from the trad british style. Flat black paint with chequers, clubman bars, side mount tail lights and a huge 59 or ace of spades on the side does my head in...
I wasn't sure if the US got the A model. If you buy me a GPZ305 and send it over I'll find you a KZ250a to send back. Deal?
