Saw this posted on their site last week and am hoping that it'll be at the moto show.  I'm sure they won't be test riding it but I'd at least like to see the thing.  Although I keep drooling on my monitor (it's my wallpaper right now), I don't think I'd ever buy one even if I had the disposable cash.  I'd love to try it at a track day though.   >:D  Definitely my fav "superbike I'll never buy" right now.

Totally agree with you.  I read about it on Sportrider, and wasn't all that impressed.  It's a freaking beautiful machine, though.  $20k is way too rich for my blood.

Thats a hot bike!

There was a chick at the Halloween trackday in the novice group on a regular RC8.
I need the sunshine in the morning, I'm heading for the open road.
