the article says 11,995 MSRP, could that be right? Seems a bit low?
It's right. It's the same price as the current base model which is what the EVO is. The SP is the new S but still doesn't get Ohlins forks. Luckily there is now an Ohlins internals kit to get the mediocre forks corrected. Not enough of a change to warrant a swap out if you have a 08-09. I was contemplating going to a F1098 but the trade in value on the Hyper is such BS (Paid 14K for an S 9/08, trade in is 7.5K 11/09

) I'm just gonna keep it and trick it out a bit. I'll buy a used F1098 in a year or two and let someone else eat the depreciation.
9,995 for the 796
11,995 for the EVO
14,495 for the SP. (Which BTW has a 1.25" HIGHER seat)
