Fully adjustable front and rear suspension
One thousand CC's
OEM hard luggage for touring package

So they going to put it on a diet like they did the CBR's 600 & 1000? I would think it could stand to drop 100 lbs. but that is just my opinion/hope.
Because I am looking at the Ducati 848 an it is a single sidded swing arm 848 cc and over 100 lbs lighter dry and very nice to look at.

It would be more believable if tomorrow wasn't April1.
So we will get to see pictures on April 1st?
Can't wait :schla15:

I was going to make a snide comment about how you'd never see �hlins shocks used as stock equipment on a Honda since �hlins is owned by Yamaha.
BUT!!!! I just found out that �hlins is no longer owned by Yamaha. Apparently last December, �hlins bought themselves back from Yamaha with Kenth �hlin now owning 95% of the shares.
