It's a cool bike. Essentially an S with a dry clutch, mag wheels and I think the R frame.
Unfortunately it comes with just a slip on so not the full race system so it was a bit muted. $42.5K so it ain't cheap either.
Too similar to the Speciale for me to justify. Especially since I have the mag wheels already installed.
It looked good but adding mirrors and number plates and turn signals always hurts the aesthetics. I'm biased, but prefer the paint of the speciale.
However for those looking to move to the v4 platform and like the paint this could be a nice option if you can live with the euro 5 slip on. If you are ultimately going to move to the full system anyway there might be better options out there on the new and used market.

I've found it sometimes helps to look at other bikes side by side. In isolation every new bike looks amazing.
Here's the speciale when I picked it up new. So not apples to apples. no exhaust, noe mag wheels, mirrors, etc. But it might be a helpful comparison for those deciding between the two...

Actually I found a better comparison with similar angles. Other than the mirrors and number plate on the speciale. (I've clearly got too much time on my hands!!)

Corse with mag wheels and exhaust thanks.
But I'm dreaming anyway, a tire kicker and not a buyer

Does this new bike have the V4R "chassis"?

Gets rid of all the crap akra model that they haven't been able to sell, as it looks
like something out of the old Star Trek series. Pipe is horrendous.
