Canada, for a 125r but I don't know what it takes to bring one across.
Your in Jersey so you could make a day trip to the great white north.
No 250, I think they used to sell there.
Here is the link to the 125

You can get a CBR250RR in the US and Canada. It will be imported. I bought a 1992 CBR250RR MC22 in Toronto, Ontario from a motorcycle importer who brings in VFR400's, CBR250's, CBR400's, NSR250's, TZR250's and the works.
They are great bikes if you can find one. I love mine.
There it is, in the foreground.

Syphen ... how is the bike as far as speed? I read about the 125s and someone suggested that they were only good for scootin' around the city, not for highway. Are the 250s any better? If I can get one for my gf, I would like to be able to at least do a little over the speed limit!!! The 250s actually remind of the 1990s 900RRs.

The CBR250RR's actually share paint schemes with the first generation 900RR's. I know a guy who lives close to me who has a 1993 CBR900RR that looks identical to mine, just bigger.
I can cruise on the highway doing 120km/h with ease. The motor rev's at 10 000rpm at this speed. The redline on my model is 19000rpm so there is still plenty of room left to go. There is a few people who live locally to me that own the new 08/09 Ninja 250R's and they simply cannot keep up in acceleration at all with the CBR250RR.
The bike is light, dry weight is 313lbs. Fully loaded and wet weight is around 350lbs. The weight is very low to the ground and the bike is very controllable. It is also great for shorter people due to the low seat height. I cannot remember what it is exactly but recall it being even lower the an CBR125's.
If you can find an MC19 or MC22 for a good price and don't mind taking the effort to source out parts, they are a fantastic bike!! I have worked on a few of them and I cannot praise them enough for a learners bike. I just wish parts were easier to find here in North America and I wish Honda had kept this motor around in a modern bike. It really makes motorheads smile when they hear the gear-drive whine up to 20000rpm.

It is pretty good for speed. It is speed-limited to 180km/h and you can hit it with a good run through the gears. You can disable it by adding a jumper across two wires in the CDI harness. I left mine restricted.
