Clearly the Germans can't be trusted...

A triple? Based on the article in the OP, I don't see a triple turning 18k RPM. Not impossible, but not likely.

It also said 10% over jap bikes. Given the lower valve area they can go over 599 and likely remain legal. They probably wouldn't need 18k.

In similar news triumph has all but promised the long rumored return of the litre class daytona for 2012. Starting to sound like there's gonna be some seriously interesting toys to choose from if they send me overseas again ;)

Some people buy only one bike, not 2 or 3.......And they'd like it to be capable of doing a variety of things, including the occasional long distance.

Some people buy sport tourers or DS bikes, I don't, because I don't like the upright riding position.

Not in the past they weren't. .. anyway we'll see but I bet they do a triple or something similar to get the extra ccs. ..

The S1000RR does not exactly break the mold wrt engine. I figure their supersport will be the same.
