Huh... Looks pretty badass. They claim the "lightest superbike in production". That video of it on the track sure got me pumped up!

It's not just ugly. It's hideous. Too blocky/trying to hard to be futuristic.

i think its sick, but i dont think they will be able to stay under 12k with that bike.. NO WAY! the super duke 990 is 11,399 - 12,000 $$$... i would say this bike is probably going to hit the US market at $13,500-$15,000... IMO.. i just cant imagine it costing less than or the same as the superduke.. but a sweet bike none the less
