As an entry level commuter, it's a great idea. And for track days, it's not bad either - the extra power is safety when you're mixed in with bigger bikes.

From the racing side, it's a damn shame. It'll probably do well in the "300" AMA and WSS classes since at that level they can level the playing field with ECU tweaks. But at the club level, it'll just get bumped up from UL to LW. It'll probably win, since it's racing against supermotos, but the grid's gonna be too small to collect much in the way of contingency. I'd love to have seen the chassis improvements with a refreshed 300cc powerplant, but that's me.
