Kwak claims 524.7 lbs. at the curb. Power to weight is a bit disappointing. I'm guessing it's easily tuned for more power with the blower.

for more power, get the sportier version, the H2R.
although you can't really see them in the photo above, the wings on the fairing are getting many a sport rider hot and bothered.
we'll probably start seeing wings on other fairings next season.

I wouldn't worry too much about what it looks like.
Wheelie Boy will pass you so fast on the rear wheel it'll be like an SR71 on full afterburner passing a Cessna 150 at ground idle.
If you're not lucky, you'll lose the paint job past the primer when it yards a vortex past you.
who cares if it don't corner, it'll be ahead so far after the first straightaway one can coast thru the corner

What does it become after going through its transformer stage?

Against Yamaha's R1M and Honda RCV replica I wouldn't go betting your house on that.
