The point of the Superlight is not a 650 per se. You can't compare that with the price of an SV just because it's a 650. Look at that spec

105bhp 75 Nm
Ohlins all round
All carbon fibre bodywork
3 ride modes
Ride by wire
Traction control
Wheelie control
Launch control
Carbon fibre wheels
158 kg

What the spec doesn't mention is the supercharger.

It's effectively a proof of concept vehicle trying to recover some research funding.
