    Whilst at my mechanics shop yesterday, I came across this 250cc Honda. I have not seen one of these before and thought it would be a great commuter bike.
    The Jade is powered by what appears to be a CBR engine, with an upright riding position and pretty much a naked, certainly looked good to me.
    Alas my photo was restricted due to the fact that the shop was full of bikes due to the continued deluge of rain.

    Interesting bike and one that wasnt imported in great numbers here, most of the fully faired inline 4's had naked equivalents that were sold in Japan, ie

    Fully Faired          Naked
    Honda CBR250 - Honda CB250FN Jade
    Yamaha FZR250 - Yamaha FZX250 Zeal
    Suzuki GSXR250 - Suzuki GSF250 Bandit

    I'm with you risky, loved my cbr1100 and enjoyed it on the open road, around town was a different story. Simply too heavy and have enjoyed my gsf400 bandit because it is so much lighter (60kg) lighter.
