Not til 2011, but this could make things interesting and improve the 600 market even more.

Damn that's awesome. 22,000 RPM anyone?

[Mr Lefty]

AWESOME!

though I wonder if they'll bitch about the corner speeds too?

wonder what the weights will be?

I think we'll see a much larger trickle down from them to our bikes than the full motogp bikes and AMA, WSBK

I'm just curious how much more shit you can add to a production 600 and keep it durable and reliable. I'm sure we'll find out in 3-5 years. It's gonna be sick.

I hear what your saying about what it will do for the 600 class, but if that means bye bye YzR-250(AKA the R4), And other future small bore plans then bahh hummbug!

I'm hearing somewhere in the 170 kilo range. That's 374 lbs wet, ready to race.
