6k - not a chance
I am waiting for a 450/550 Tuono myself. Unfortunately there is no chance that this is going to go for 6k. Sure, it is small displacement, but the running gear will be high end, which is much of the cost of the bike anyway. I doubt that 450 is that much cheaper to produce than their liter engine anyway. Even if it is a grand cheaper for the engine, you are looking at what, a 8-9k 450? I still want one though.
