I think it looks ridiculously sexy. :D

The instrument cluster reminds me of an RC51 (Not a bad thing :p). Good to see they've gotten rid of those hideous indicators on the mirror stalks, too.

Hoping the 6R gets a similar design - Not a fan of the 09/10 at all.

Other than that, piss the collector box of and it would be ok...

I like the new pictures alot better. Seeing straight on in better pictures you get more a feel for the shape of the thing. I'd still like to check out the look of the bike up close and personnal. I think it looks good so far :kuda:

just had a couple thoughts...

13799 MSRP!! with the AU$ creeping closer to parity, would be great to see it come down in price here.. (flying pigs anyone?)

now that its got POWERRRR,, would it have a higher top speed than a 14?

price - probably try and flog them for 21,000 over here....

top speed? I heard 186mph, which coincidentally is 299km/h, which tells me that its probably ECU limited.
