I'm weak for small-displacement inline-4s like this. A 4-cylinder that revs to 12,000rpm at 443cc is obviously going to be a blast to wind out. Front and rear ABS plus TCS, and pricing expected to undercut the 450RR — that's generous. I want to feel the pleasure of winding it right out on a mountain road.
