    the big four Jap bike companies like Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda...

    should we suggest to one of these companies with overwhelming E-mails to do the following;


    1.- manufacture and market a new generation 4-cylinder in line 250cc bike with EFI?

    2.- tell them that if they do this, we will send their engineers cookies, lots of cookies.

    The old in-line 4's cost too much to make, personally I would to see a fuel injected 2 stroke make a comeback

    No amount of emails will change anything :lolsign:

    Would I like a 4 cylinder 250cc with EFI, ABSOLUTELY :thumb_ups: alas this is but a dream.
    As for the engineers, cookies won't do, if you offered whaling rights in the great southern ocean, perhaps:lolsign:

    Yes with government installed GPS tracking so that if you break the law, your bank balance is immediately debited. That will be followed by a bunch of old rogues on filthy, polluting motorcycles with internal combustion engines terrorising the population by blatantly breaching the 30 kph speed limit.

    Oops! Used the T word. Can expect MIB to arrive at any moment.
