Thats what I thought to but with some nice exotic stuff to stare at!
I would take one or a sv650 for that matter, looks like fun bike.

Here it is:
Has a hole shot exhaust and jetted to match, sounds like a motocross bike when you hit it. I gassed it a little too much in the parking lot, and the rear broke loose. Lots of torque!
I will probably get the tags early this coming week and I will take it for a proper spin!

I put 30 miles on it today.
I felt immediately comfortable on it. The handling is out of this world, it just goes where you want it to...on the pipe or not its completely neutral. It's is a bit persnickety about what gear its in, does not tolerate lugging a high gear the way I thought it would. Having said that, the gears are nice and long. The highway is no problem, can cruise at 65 and theres plenty of room. Feels pretty stable there as well, compared to my old S2 anyway. There will be no 120 mph wheelies down the fast lane, but that's ok.
Ive read that this bike can be thrashed, that is to say the chasis/handling/braking will take EVERY bit that the engine has to give...and so far it's living up to that. It's a good fit for me so far, and I doubt I will pass another one out there. (thats a big thing for me.)
