OK, where do I start with this??

I LOVE the new look, sleek, current, and they stayed with the traditional single headlamp. And by the looks of it, it looks like it may be back to a projector style?

From the limited info, it looks like the engine is brand new and has VVT now.

As for those new forks, I don't know much about them but they look hella cool

Electronics is one area where Gixxers have been falling behind the competition. So I'm curious to see how their version of TC, anti-wheelie, ABS, and up & down quick shifting stacks up to Ducati & Yamaha.

Gixxers have always been known to be easy to ride especially through corners so it would be a sight to see if this new one is faster than the new R1 and 1299.... and even the S1000RR.

I just hope they incorporate some of this electronic tech and looks into the 600 & 750 soon....
