I'm really no hero, occasional track days and all that but I just did 1400 miles around france and Switzerland and there were times where I would have liked that bonkers GSXR1000 power to weight flat out thrill. I guess 173 with ruck sack and tank bag isn't shabby but I think they are shooting for more power and less weight. If they achieve that and keep the stability and poise then i think i'll have to have one.

Why buy another bike just because of the engine, when you can get up to 1205cc on your testaretta engine....

Maybe because the engine work you would need to upgrade would cost as much as trading your bike in against a new un ???
