Is this an SV650 based bike? (Italjet Grifon) - SV650.org

Is this bike another to use the SV's v-twin motor? Maybe Italjet are goin' to go back to and make some larger bikes once more. Could be a rival to the Raptor I suppose.

I'm not certain, but I don't think so. Capacity is 647cc (rather than the SV's 645). The picture isn't really clear but the engine casing looks different too.

Too many ribs on the cylinders and the engine casings are certainly different. Being italian, it will probebly be a rotex offering or maybe a KTM or similar

Looks quite tasty despite that though... I like the side panels.

There was much talk last year of a high-spec American bike with a comet lump in too, the first was to be NA but with a supercharged version afterwards- don't know if it ever saw day. There was much talk of it being a "True American bike" on the website- engineering by a brit, design by a Frenchman, engine by the koreans but copied from the japanese... Perhaps the brake lever was American
