    While I really do like the look ( the burnt orange is my choice) , I don't think I'm ready to own a road bike with 47hp .
    I really dislike the cheap Ohlins look alike rear shocks.

    47hp is about the same as the BMW R65 I owned back in the late 80s, it was 'enough' horsepower and torque for 1 up riding (even with some camping gear strapped on) and I travelled interstate a lot of times on that bike.  But being honest I would have liked to have seen a bit more output from this design (say like the R80 with it's 150 extra cc) or in modern terms the power output of a V-Strom 650 (which is mid 60 range).
    Pretty looking bikes though (given the price point they're aimed at) and the cost cutting (like the shocks) isn't something that you couldn't change later.
