Possible... Maybe, they are tired of being a "boutique" brand and the newish owners are ready to see some real money!!!

On the serious side, some of those components are almost worth the entry fee...

If I owned one, it'd be hard for me to stop sitting in my garage and staring at it.

I wouldn't put it in the garage... it would go in the living room. Seriously.

I do like it, but can 848cc really be considered a middleweight? That's a lot closer to a liter than a 600, and nearly the same size as some of the stuff that was considered big-bore just a few years ago.
