I think it looks OK, but until the performance specs come out, it's hard to make a good guess how it's gonna ride. If it's all tippy top end like most I4s, I probably wouldn't be tempted. On the street I'd really like more on the bottom and in the middle. Typical complaint of the FZ6, which this replaces. I used to have an '03 FZ1, and even modded it didn't have a ton down low. It didn't get interesting until 5 grand, and didn't start getting really steamed til about 8 grand. I just don't ride the street with the RPMs in the stratosphere.
