TBH owning a ZX10R after a Blade I dont think I want a torquey engine with a strong mid range anymore I like ringing its neck and dancing on the rev limiter to get my kicks these days (lol)

I do love the top end scream of a 600.

For the road I would love a Tuono V4

For the track I dont need anymore than a 600 but yes, if I could get a bike with the same engine characteristics but with 60 more bhp throughout the rev range then that would be good fun

I would but Perkles is always close to me when I've got his bike and he's bigger than me (punch)

Not my cup of tea at all, there's distinct echoes of the old Katana in the tank and seat design imho.

Agree with Deegee not keen on the styling and looks like a revamped Katana which didn't look good first time round imo.

Little difference on the road granted. But if you get some where, where you can really open her up she basically teleports you between bends (lol)

We'll have to see how the final product looks compared to the sketch.

I quite like it, it's something different.

Will have to wait until it is fully released to see what the finished article looks like, but personally think I'd prefer a belly pan to that.
