What year was the one you rode? from 06-08 they were the same bike and this year they revamped it...made it lighter gave it more power and a really kick ass transmission.

Again, I agree, I rode an older one and it was thin, and handled excellent but I would have expected a lot more torque than a I4 600... To be honest, on looks alone, I'b buy this bike if they made a liter version of it!

Nice color........Can't deal with its scrunched-up riding position though. Track-only IMO. Nowhere near as comfy as a CBR or GSXR.

Well you'll be in rarefied company! I doubt they'll sell many of these and most of the ones they do will end up in some warehouse or garage somewhere, trust me! I doubt 1 out of 5 of these will be "daily riders" like a GSXR or a similar bike would be.
