Yup, what he said.... but a lot better than I could have said it...
Yes, the adjustable swingarm pivot, Ti rods, and 500 rpm higher rev limit are all for the track/racing, no value at all for the street. It's what they needed for SBK homologation, there was no consideration for making it a more attractive street "bling" collector bike as some of the prior R models were with carbon bodywork, fancy paint schemes (aka. Bayliss 1198R), etc.
