They used to sell the XB RR for the same price.. 1450ccs, 150hp 130-140 tq..
This thing had BETTER be putting down some serious numbers for that kind of money.. |

No kidding. And no where in the presser or article does it mention power numbers.

Better, lighter wheels & swing arm, new front rotor, airbox, exhaust, cams and a chain drive for $28 grand?
Seems like you could build your own cheaper than you could buy one.

Everything I read said that you could build the current Geico Daytona Sportbikes for an additional 20 large....and that of course assumes you already have the stock 1125.
