So yeah I don't even know where to start with this one. Whats everyone's thoughts?
That power figure if its true is ... mind boggling.
Trelis frame, single sided swing arm. Fair change up from the usual Kawasaki but I'm guessing that's what they were going for with this one.

Well, to me it has a lot of designs cues from the Panigale... which is not a bad thing. But that much power will not only be INSANE to keep under control but the torque will probably also mean it will go through tires almost as fast as it goes through fuel. No idea how much it will cost but I'm guessing more expensive (and not by just a little) than a HP4.

Having said that, I want one please!!!!!!!

One of my friends made the point that the Bugatti Vernon had to have its own tyres engineered for it. I wouldn't be surprised if this required the same thing.

Apparently it comes with bridgie slicks... Rear is a 190 too which I found a bit surprising. Like someone said in another forum, "more power than a XR6 and only one wheel"
