Maybe the lower HP was a trade off for some massive midrange. We can hope.

why do all the other countries get the cool stuff first

"why do other countries get all the cool stuff first?"

Because people are investing in/buying from companies from other countries, so that is where the money for developing new products goes. Only makes sense to release new products on the same continent as the parent companies to tell if the product is a hit or a bust before exporting long distances. That way they only ship and cash in on winning products and further convince americans that their products are superior to what we build here.....and the cycle continues to erode American industry and innovation.

in the spring ive been waiting for it.price is around 11k.around 123 hp and 80 ft lbs.wich is kind of a let down.i was hopeing it would compete with the z1000.still a great looking bike once you change the exhaust and mirrors.

we've had these for the last 3 years here in NZ. they are real small, bout same size as a XB9SX. the ass would look better if it had a tail tidy kit.

love the headlight. hate the muffler... would look good as more of a buell setup with muffler directly under the bike. maybe with a reverse muffler on it.
