701hp & 473 lbs dry wieght probably even lighter since its a race bike
even with all the turbo piping and cooling
1.5 hp /pound of bike
with race gas, me and a carne asada burrito its still way over
1 hp/ pound of rolling carnage

I agree Rob...it looks too plastic or something, kind of like a large scooter.

I first saw it over at STN where it's been getting mixed feelings, most thinking it's ugly. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the Suzuki RF600/900 of a few years ago. I think it looks good - except for the "bite" out of the tail fairing near the passenger pegs.

The other thing, the current ZZR is thought of as a SPORT-tourer and even has OEM optional hard bags, but the cans on this one look pretty high for adding hard cases.

I was drooling more over the Triumph Bonneville Scrambler a little lower on the page.
