It looks like a punched out and remodeled EX 500 engine in a really cool chassis. That's a good thing. The EX 500 was a great engine hobbled by a deficient displacement and rudimentary chassis.
I think the world could really use another 650 cc streetfighter. With the rumors of a new Triumph mid displacement triple flying once again 2006 could be very interesting!
What I'd love to see is a Bonneville based sportbike with modern looks and chassis. Not a retro-racer like the Thruxton, but a true vertical twin naked streetbike with fuel injection and Speed Four quality handling. Cool!
It's all good! If the Streetfight thing can spawn a whole slew of bikes from different manufactures all the better - I mean what will evolve from the streets next? We had cafe racers, choppers , super motards (sort off), Streetfighters infact everything came from what the consumer wants - once Streetfighters are mainstrean which I think they are now, something else 'will' come from the primevil biker mind! Bring it on. :hammer:
That looks like some kind of bastardized mix of S3, SV, Tiger, FZ1, Buell Lightning, and that suzuki concept bike. If I want something that looks like a spaceship, I'd just get the that BMW K1200R.
