Isn't 70ft-lbs of torque enough? The only thing these motors need IMO is a free-breathing inlet side and lower gearing (they are all horrendously overgeared).

......maybe I'll let you know in September

Major changes seem to be:

Only S DS model with 1098cc engine
No 1000ds model
No 600 model
better service costs!

There is no point in putting a new engine in it, unless they sort out the ugly front as well.
Nice rear though!

I was at the factory for the tour on 27th July. They mentioned the 1100 Multi, but I thought it must be old news as they were so open about it.

Other observations on the day:-
There is a dual seat Sport 1000 with high-rise bars & twin rear shocks (completed & leaving the factory on the day).
None of the production lines were building Superbikes (although the Parts Unlimited 999s was being crated up to leave the factory).
The tour of the factory & museum is excellent!!!! If you're thinking of going, DO IT!!!
