You nailed it aces, I've been waiting for this machine for over a decade, to me it represents the first total commitment to racing in a street production literbike with an inline 4 configuration from big red.
The CBR has always been a streetbike first and racebike second, they shed that philosopy with their 600 this year and look at the results, the world championship already bagged and god knows how many national titles.
If the 1k can capture the same magic as it's little brother, and I have no reason to believe it wont, it will be a very sick ride, and instantly competitive with the zook even in superstock spec.
