EDIT: Unlike the R15, the 250 would be a bike to counter the global Ninja 250. That would be mean horsepower would be anywhere between 30-33 (beginner level motorcycle hp limit in most countries).
But then since it is a global bike, it would mean more after market parts and tuning options! Already dreaming!
I agree. That WRX won't be much use for an R-Series. We know R15 engine came from long stroking the R125's cylinder ...

How about using the same R125 engine, with attaching 2 similar cylinders in inline setup directly? Remember that 700cc enfield from 2 RE 350's?

Since R125 gives some 15 bhp, the 250 may be tuned to give some 30 bhp @ higher revs, on some crankshaft change, etc ... Crankshaft change would be necessary anyways, as this time it's 2 cylinders.

What do you say guys?
