Yamaha to make 250 sports bike

I like the idea of genuinely 'good' low (-er) powered sports bikes- singles such as mooted ktm moto3 'street' or minitwins. Surely could be great for road racing and superb for uk roads but only if not budget parts made to look 'sporty' (allegedly). The problem then is they should not be too expensive. MCN featured a ktm mototech 690r- great looks, great performance but over £8k using second hand donor (£10000 plus new). Great to have proper sports bike with lower capacity and good suspension/chassis. New global sportsbike? Is there a market?

Its great so see Yamaha bring a bike to the 250cc market! But I feel the 250cc Market is dieing down, especially with the new laws. Will as many people want to go from a 125cc to a 250cc when so many 46bhp bikes are being made meaning no need for restriction and becoming more affordable, eg the Honda 500 series and NC700's.
