I found the article.

Looks like the 300R will eventually (like as early as 2014) replace the 250 and the 400 is a scaled down version of the Ninja 650R. The 300R is a "real bike" that has been available abroad and in Canada since 2011.

They are expecting competition from KTM in the form of a Duke 350 and Duke 390 in 2013 as well.

Sounds like maybe we need to look at the following for 2013:

Production Cup 250 / 300

Two waves, 300's in front. Same rules as 250 prod now.

Forward looking, maybe it becomes Prod Cup 300 / 400 and we allow 250's to make additional mods to compete with the 300's?

Current 250's make 30hp in racetrim. Per the website the new 300's make 39hp at high rpm, 400's make 43hp at a much lower, more reasonable touring rpm.

Actually pretty damn cool, as this would maybe make the production class more appealing to a larger audience.
