I hear ya, hanging on to my current V4 and this will be an addition to the family. A little road duty and smaller track bike.
I would wager a small sum that we see an R version of this with their eyes on the SuperSport class (which is currently using the previous V2 for a couple of years). Lighten the internals for a few more RPMs and throw on a hefty profit margin, but it stays in line with the model naming scheme.
