How in the world are they getting 120 hp out of a 675 three cylinder?

Yeah, but even so, those crank and rear wheel numbers are similar to the 1050cc triple engine, aren't they? My 885 triple only puts about 85 or 90 to the ground, I think. And 3 cylinders don't wrap like a 4, they redline around 10k. Mine redlines at 9500.
That thing looks BAD A$$. Kind of R1-ish. I like it. Quit showing me these bikes..... I had thought I had just decided on a new Speed Triple over the ZX6R and now you have to show me this 675.... turmoil!.....angst!......indecision! Oh well.. another test ride I'll have to do next year. Poor me!

Very nice. If I hadn't bought my 10R this year.... Hmmm, I wonder what kind of trade I might get...

Also the 675 spins up to 14k rpms, so that helps a little to close in the HP gap between the lower revving but bigger motor, but torque is where the bigger motor is really going to shine against the smaller 675.
OH... I got you now. That's all I needed to know. I didn't think a 3 cylinder could spin that fast. Did the older Daytona engines wrap that high?
I like the gold (bling).
AND the red. 
CRAP!!!

That is a pretty nice piece of machinery. it looks to be much narrower than the Honda or Kaw pictured with it in the frontal shots; I wonder how effective the fairing will be at defflecting wind.
