Really like the looks of it, I can't believe the hp claims tho. To compete with an IL4 litre bike they will need 165 at the rear wheel, maybe the R will have that but then spend £20k on a litre 4 and you would have more.
Playing a hp/performance game with the Japanese is a big mistake and they can only lose.
To spend £12k on a sportsbike I would have to have the best performance and this hasn't got it. If it was £8k I'd consider it as the looks are very nice even if they have styling cues from other bikes, the 916 was copied from the RC30 and NR750 and that didn't stop people buying it !
