When I got mine there wasn't as much HP difference, and it came with enough upgraded parts that IMO the price difference wasn't that much. I also wanted a twin over an I4 for power delivery, and didn't really care that the I4's had a bit more power, I'd been a while since I'd had a bike and felt 110 rwhp was more than enough.

I also think near enough it handles as good or better than anything does, so I keep it because I really don't need anymore power, and that's mostly what a newer bike would get me.
