Go wash your mouth out with 10W/40 semi-synth, you disgusting individual :D

I like that, but not sure I could live with having a Hyosung engine under me, even though I know they are pretty damn good.

Neah, that's VERY right. Look at the weight of the thing.
167kg dry in standard form => ~190kg fully fueled up
150kg dry in race form => ~173kg fully fueled up...

So, rider + bike:
~270kg standard, ~253kg race.

With 80bhp, the standard is 0.3, the race 0.316. Think about it like this : it's equivalent to a SV with 88.5 in race form, and to a Sprint ST with 102. So it's not THAT bad at all. Plus, the actual low weight of the thing will help a lot with direction changes... So should be quite a bit better than the SV (and quite close to the Sprint ST) if you're talking just one rider.
