Information is scarce at this time, but expect a street version of the RSV4 that would around 180, while the race version should kick out at least 230 hp to allow it to hold its own against its Japanese, Italian and German rivals.

The RSV4 should deliver around 180 hp at the crankshaft on the street machines.

Based on old RSV pricing, the anticipated sales price for the RSV4 should come out just below $30,000, for which you will get exceptional performance, exclusivity, a slew of desirable features and premium components: Öhlins suspension, Brembo disks and monoblock calipers, titanium exhaust, adjustable fork angle, engine position and swing arm pivot, a wind-tunnel-tuned fairing, as well as a number of parts machined from aluminum or titanium. Look for first Canadian deliveries in summer 2009.

Jaw dropping, to say the least. Bring on the road tests!
