Interesting bike. Water cooled is a big step up for them

The bike looks pretty small for a 1000cc engine

I think it's just a really tall guy riding it, as opposed to a really small bike.

There's dozens of other visual clues though. We know the standard sizes of wheels, levers, petrol cap, crash helmets etc.

If you watch the video you will hear the rider say the bike has a short wheelbase s as s the engine has been developed for that purpose.

The wheelbase is almost the same as that of a Ducati Street-fighter ....I don't know if that's short, medium, or long.... seems like it would be shortish to medium, maybe... what'd you reckon?
I still think he's a lanky tw@t, no matter what. :D
