[Marmoot]

its wheelbase is .5mm shorter

I never understand who would fall for this marketing hype......A simple bit of chain adjustment will negate that "shorter wheelbase" or even puts you with "0.5mm longer wheelbase"

[White trash]

As previously stated, 166kg dry, 11 extra cc and all that.

Also, 2mm bigger throttle bodies, up to 44mm with possibly twin injectors per cylinder. Titanium valves as per the 600 and 750 to ensure quicker revving with a higher ceiling.

Brake rotors are up 10mm to 310 with the radial m/cylinder from the 600/750.

This is going to be one seriously "haul arse" bike. (Not that the last one wasn't!)

I can't imagine where it will stop, these modern bikes are just so amazing. When Kawasaki released the ZX10 in the eighties, they said, "No one will ever build a faster bike, not even us"

Could've been a Tui ad.
