Japanese pricing is ¥9.9 million including tax, with a carbon monocoque and Hossack-style front suspension.

What grabs me is the twin-crank 90-degree V-twin firing both cylinders together while the cranks counter-rotate to cancel vibration. Even at the prototype’s 122 kg and 75 ps, it should feel nothing like a modern four-stroke 250 from turn-in to exit. If the production bike really reaches 83 ps at 105 kg, it will be fierce. But I need another ride on the finished brakes and ABS setup.
