This is the replacement to the RSV1000 correct? And everyone expects the MSRP of the Base model to jump 200%?

420 wet is respectable, if it has a decent amount of power.
i have read 180-190 crank hp estimates. that would mean an honest 150-155 roughly.
sounds decent, but id still take an rc8

RRW had the RC8 pumping out 131.6 RWHP during their testing.

The new Sport Rider has a full test on the RC8. All of the testers in their comments expressed basically the same thing: nice bike, but too expensive.
They stated MSRP was $19.5k, so in 1098S territory.

It looks okay but not wow. I see too much GSX-R, CBR and R6 in the styling for my tastes

rc8 = same hp/weight as a 954

Regardless of the looks, I'm ALWAYS in favor of something different. A modern V4 that is somewhat more in financial reach of the average sport bike rider (compared to a Duc V4) can only be a good thing.
In the perfect world, I'd have a modern I4, a modern V-2, a good lightweight single, a modern V4 and of course my favorite of them all, a modern I3.
