Redesigning everything to the point of earning the word "revolution" shows how serious the development team is. The 799cc LC8c parallel-twin stays, but the chassis, rear frame, and brakes are all redone. And they've prioritized a competitive price. True to its "Scalpel" nickname, it's a character that competes on sharpness. I'm dying to line it up against the old model and compare exactly what's changed, detail by detail.
