So, I guess next year the gloves are off for liter bikes...
Yamaha: Has their R1 & R1M.
MV Augusta: is now partnered with Mercedes AMG and showed only a painting of the F4 SBK customer special which makes 210hp (And 385lb dry(!?)
Ducati: ups their displacement yet again, 1299 but 205hp and 395lb curb weight!!!!
Kawasaki: drops the H2 bomb! Supercharged, upwards of 300hp... looks like a skunkworks project... costs almost as much as a superlegera...
What are the answers from Honda and Suzuki?
Suzuki bunts... I guess ALL their resources have gone to the 2015 MotoGP project instead? Because this is just ugly...
Honda... hmmm... there's the timid upgrade on the CBR1000RR
But no sign of a street legal RCV as some still expect.
And Aprilia of course, there is a new RSV for 2015, probably with the same 1100cc upgrade that the Tuono got, who knows what else?
I think the bike I'd be most curious to ride would be the Kawasaki. The bike I'd most want to own would be either the Duc or the MV. I suspect the nicest to ride might be the Yamaha... but my god is it boooooorrriiiiing to look at.
