Hi

Hope it comes out, but I doubt it will have the power of a 600 and the weight of a 250. More like the power of a 250 (it is only marginally more powerful than the RS250) and the weight of a 600.

All the best

Keith

MCN newspaper said 'as fast as a 600, as light as a 250'. They are expecting it to be around 140kg and 70-80bhp making the bike have about the same power to weight ratio of an older 600cc bike. (about the same power to weight as my bike too.)
M wants one.

Not a bad idea, but I can't see a 450 v-twin being that powerful. It'll probably handle like a dream tho.

Now that I've had the rs on a few decent rides I'm starting to quite enjoy it Smile. (So apologies to all those that were getting hyped up bout it and I put down Razz ). Hopefully the price of the rs 'l go up and I'll be able to make soem money, if I don't muller it before then Razz.

I would have thought maybe a high revving triple or 4 would have been a more obvious replacement to the powerband-packed 2 stroke.
