Probably 50+ lbs lighter having no fairing, even more nimble handling, fully adjustable rear shock if its anything like the 675, that wicked intake sound...
I'd go for one if it were everything the 675 is without the fairing.

That pretty much sums it up. It would be much more than the 1050 is on the handling department. I would have to be as short as a circus midget to comfortably fit on one, though.
Many countries also limit the power output of a bike ridden by new riders under the age of 25 during their first 2 years on a bike. A 675 would be much easier to detune than a 1050. They could buy the detuned 675, ride it 2 years then take it back to the dealer to have it easily remapped to a full fledged screamer.
