It's got a big bike swing arm, it's got full-size front forks. Steel frame. Water cooled inline 4. I don't think it's a large-budget machine, the idea is a small displacement bike so people can save money on registration and displacement taxes. None of that saves weight. Comes in about 20lbs lighter than a ZX6R, makes sense honestly.
Redline is 17k, lower than the old generation. Unless they have 2 very different versions, aka small street and lightweight race bike with a different physical state of tune, I don't see this thing being all that interesting.
