168kg = 369.6lbs. I wonder if this is the normal BMW dry weight.....to include no fluids or battery. 23 liters is 6 gallons which equates to about 36lbs. Add in a gallon of coolant and brake fluids for another 8lbs, a 20lb battery and you're at 434 lbs give or take. Just to compare, my Paul Smart weighs about that, and my R12S about 475. Special K is a whopping 575. Anyone know what a race prepped GSXR-1000 or a 1098R weighs sitting on the starting line ready to go?

Would be nice to know how far north of 200hp this bike has, and what kind of traction control it has. Interesting times. I hope they can afford to race develop the thing.
