It said it was expected to make 47 hp to comply with the new EU laws, and it has standard forks and a monoshock, just like the other non-ss bikes. If they brought it stateside, wouldn't it compete with the CBR250, not the CBR600RR? a 100+ hp SS and a 47 hp twin sport bike are very different animals.
I have no idea what in the world they're thinking though. I'm just a college kid, so everything I say is pure spit-balling. I'll just sit and wait for things to unfold, and drool over cool new bikes when they come out
