That was their business plan announced a few years ago...limit the entry level bikes and focus more on higher end models which bring higher profit per unit sold.

I agree...a model around 11K would be great. I think they could do it with the 1098 motor though. There isn't any reason a model with an 848 motor would automatically be cheaper. I'll bet it costs the same to build an 848 engine as it does a 1098 engine. The cost savings come with things like no traction control, cheaper suspension, cheaper rims, lack of a stock steering damper, etc.
ok so get me one for 11k with hardbags and i'm sold.

No way...can't even get a new Triumph Tiger with bags for that.  Wink (well, unless they are having a killer sale)

+1  Sell it bare bones to keep cost down.  Most people replace all that stuff you mentioned anyways.
