Yeah, me too! That'd help a lot of new riders not feel as if they need the 600s to "look cool"! Plus 45 Horse on that little machine is quite a powerhouse!

It looks like it's got the same engine, with some performance related tweaks. I'm skeptical about the 45 hp claim, but any improvements would be a good thing.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a little Ninja as an "around town" bike. This new version just might do the trick. The improvements in braking and suspension are definitely a plus.
