FWIW, I took a test ride on a Speed 4 last year and it is an insanely great bike. And an incredible deal as well--cheaper than the Honda 599, not too far off from the FZ600 and SVS650... except with better suspension, performace, build quality, character. Too bad about those butt-ugly schnorkels. Now if those rumors of the smaller displacement 3 cyl replacement are true, I think they'll do just fine...
