Megelli 250SE

You have to hand it to the Italians to make a bike look sexy. Except this isn't Italian. While the name may suggest so, it's acutally a British marque.

Having built a 125 engine since 2007, the company has now branched into the 250 market, and damn is the 250SE a good looking machine. The 26hp 250CC engine isn't going to get you into too much trouble, but is a step up from Honda's CBR250R. The dry weight of 123Kg is also pretty decent should you wish to race it.

Unfortunatley, the Megelli is today limited to Europe, Australia and Asia, probably due to our disdain for smaller bikes. I for one, would welcome this to our shores and would love to hear from anyone that's ridden it
