Shit, if they are competitive, I'll be right there cheering them on with you!!! All I want is an American company to build a bike that competes with the Japanese makers on equal ground! I will say one "bashy" thing though, this bike sounds to be almost the same as the bikes competing in Daytona Sport Bike. If so, I think that it's kinda weird. It would be like having a slightly less modified GSXR1000 in that class.

Alright, I happen to agree with your post. I'm pretty sure even the Daytona bikes use Ohlins suspenders.
