I was having a moment there, a particularly silly one. Of course, reducing the compression ratio would have no impact on the swept volume.

I'll edit that out!

Idiot.

It certainly looks similar now I've viewed an image of the CBR250R.

How did the cc go wrong though?

"The CBR’s single cylinder motor makes a fairly acceptable 26bhp, which is enough to see 75mph on an open road." from a review on Bennett's Insurance website.

Herald Classic 250 (Suzuki GN250 engine - 21bhp and 20ft-lb torque). I bought mine new (the 'Mutchless' :D ) 7 years ago.
Cruises happily at 60 to 65mph and nippy. Light weight (130kg) but obviously it buzzes a bit, unlike a lazy and relaxed AMC long stroke single.
I've only done about 6,000 miles as I don't 'like' it very much. I've only used it on section runs and a couple of Jampot rallies and French trips. The riding experience is nothing like my beloved Marigold which I can no longer ride with only one useable arm, but I've never had any mechanical issues with the bike.
