It would cost less than a R1 or an R6, but have benefits of both engines with only a slight increase in weight. The Idea here is to create a slightly less powerful R1, but have the R6 chassis with improved comfort ergonomics for in town riding. This might redefine sport tourer, because the bike will be for the majority of owners that dont want Superbike, high RPM riding, with reasonable fuel economy and a slot between a R1 and R6 in between riding dynamics but excelling in neither category. I guess in a way, a bike that is a good Jack of all trades kind of Super Sport Tourer. Great to look at, great to ride, and offers more practicality for a larger variety of riders.
