A power-to-weight ratio near 1:1 is the kind of number that gets my pulse up reading the spec sheet. Forced induction from the supercharger plus a single-sided swingarm feeding a central exhaust — the mechanical novelty stands out even against the outgoing model. This is the good part for me.

The price tag is brutal too.

Near 1:1 power-to-weight is impressive.

This much power is honestly overkill for the street.

228 horsepower is next-level.
