Awesome...will be cool to see what's actually at the back wheel though...

Sounds (for now) like the fly by wire throttle is not the terror that many (myself included) predicted too...def. gotta scam a ride on one of these...could be my next bike.

Very nice.

hmmm... time to upgrade soon.

Looks awesome, but dunno about the way they have hung the lights and plate off the back, or for that matter the stubby little exhaust that seems to be standard on sports bikes these days.

the exhaust, well alot of people said they didnt like the k5 exhaust in the pre-release photos and most people like them in the flesh

Fair call . . .

Does stack up nicely on paper tho, 133hp and 162kg.

the fly-by-wire has me a little scheptical, but sounds like a pretty awesome machine.. it'd be tempting

Looks wicked, I suppose it will have about 110-115 at the rear wheel.
It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the opposition, wait for the barrage of 600cc shootouts in the motoring press

had thought about this who computer riding the bike almost for ya.. would there be any way to hack into the system, install a gyro on the bike and hook it up? then do instant 12 o'clock wheelies with no effort, knowing that the bike isn't going to out accelerate itself and flip you off..?
