I think if a 4-cyl 250 actually entered production, it would be sold in the USA. Because it's going to be expensive.

The CBR300RR didn't make it to US, at least for now.

I second that. I think it would be pretty economically reckless to bring in two pretty similar versions of the same bike to the US right now. There's enough trouble as is selling the bikes we already have. And I don't think dealerships would appreciate having to stock both engine variations in both color schemes, and that's before anything is said on whether or not there will be an ABS equipped model.
Now I think it would make sense if they brought the more high powered one to see how it did. I don't think it would sell great, but I do think it fills a niche so there's that. Though at this point I'd rather see most of the effort be put in getting new riders on a bike, and not on making models more apt for a 2nd or 3rd bike for already habitual riders.

It sounded like it would at one point.
That was going to be a twin though.

The twin cylinder RR is a 250 not a 300. Still limited to a handful of Asian countries unfortunately.
I looked at importing one from Japan back in 2017 but I was only going to be able to ride it on the track as it wasn't compliant for road use here in New Zealand. So I bought a Ninja 400 instead.
