like an over grown Ninja 250R! a crotch rocket no doubt, but with enough HP to do anything !
It's injected, but the MT-07 is 700cc. The MT-09 is 900, and the MT-10 is 1,000. My MT-07 does 74 hp at the crank, so the same as my '72 H2 was stock, but it's around 40 lbs lighter at right around 400 lbs. wet. The torque curve is about flat from 2,000 to 9,000 rpm too.

MPG is regularly in the low 60s, so gas doesn't cost much for that one. Last spring I ran a tankful though it on the back roads of western NC, and the speed limit was 45 for most of that ride. It got 72 mpg for that tank!
