Suzuki's GSX S750 !!! Got some transformer going on but its tuned for the street and bet it would be a fun ride,and at $7999.00 should be good competition for the Yamaha triple !!!! Never did care for the front light in the small faring look but with a cool pipe I bet it could be a wheelie king !!!

No, it's a Griso. They debuted in 2005. This 2015 model is advertised at something over 110 hp, but they're a bit on the heavy side at 489 dry. They handle very well, and I think they sound cool:

My 2010 R1200R is 435 lbs dry and lays 109 Hp to the road. I think the torque is on the order of 87 ft-lbs to the road.
Handling is awesome. It's a sleeper. Will power wheelie in first.
