Interesting bike, if only in the sense that it could be a precursor for a 1125r-based ST.
This bike is a ST right, no more "off road" pretensions? What was it that Eric Buell said about the ST market segment not too long ago, that it was "dismal"? He seems to have changed his mind yet again, and yet again delivered a bike that's a step in the right direction, and ST bikes are steps in the right direction IMO, but still, a little off the mark.
Bring a 1125R with a new, intergrated top fairing, and a nicely designed and complimentary aerodynamic chin fairing with some nice locking, hard side-cases to the market, and I'll take a serious look. Another XB variant won't interest me. May as well just get a Firebolt/Lighning, and slap some cases on it.
