      Wow!! The bike sure does look yummy
      I personally loved the sight of the rear monoshock suspension from the right, the black passenger grips on the tail panel, the full-digital intrument console & the under-engine muffler looks amazingly HOT!!

      The amount of black used around the engine looks like an overkill to me though.

      Overall, the bike looks fully loaded.

      Is the launch date still a speculation, or its out?

      EDIT
      PS: I love those fairing integrated indicators too

      My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

      The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

        so, its not 70 but its 44 bhp.

        But wait, why such high weight of 203 kgs? Why is it going past 2 quintals for a 400 cc engine?

        Even CBR 600 weighs much lesser & the Gsx1000r weighs 205 kgs...

        Something feels fishy about this 400 Inline Twin's weight which matches even litre class bikes!
        It seems to me some rebored or short stroked version of another engine, to be made & sold cheaply in Home market...

          +1 to that. Too much black on the bike. I love the rear profile too. That LED tail lamp looks cool. I didnt like the front much. Looks like the Fazer if you ask me.

            is it just me or does the side-Rear look like a desi 150 cc? :P maybe its the lack of split seats!

                but that stubby short exhaust can makes it look 'in-complete'

                  They have totally tamed that engine... 44 BHP is too shay for this bike.. It had to be atleast near by 70BHP.

                  Exhaust looks to muted too... May be that's the culprit, i am sure there could be more but this is a silent beast.

                    Price?

                    Anybody have an idea about the price tag ? ...... It might be in the price range of many indian riders if Kawi decide to bring it here.
