It seems that I may have to offer a dissenting view. This is merely a concept bike, and as such, the concept can be improved upon to suit the market. With the i6 powerplant and half-auto shifting, I see more potential as a sport tourer instead of a Katana replacement. If the frame was enlarged enough to accommodate hard saddlebags and trunk, the front end modified slightly to accommodate an adjustable windshield, and the chain drive replaced with a shaft drive, I would happily pluck this bike from the showroom floor. Comfy seats help too.
