When will we get the configurator?

That TL1000 plant is already at its upper limit, the RC51 makes that out of the box and has a much higher ceiling. Full exhaust and a Power Commander and you’ll match the Bimota’s PW ratio.

I made the same argument but you beat me by about 15 minutes. Want a world-beater V-twin sportbike? Get an RC51. It’s as easy an answer as “Miata”

Don’t know how I ended up here again, but you should’ve seen the differential and ring and pinion in my 335,000 Ranger. I know I haven’t changed diff fluid in my 11 years of owning it and it looked factory fresh.

I like bagpipes...

The Adam West Batmobile was a Lincoln concept car but Adam West wasn’t the first Batman and the Lincoln wasn’t the first Batmobile

You are though in that instance. If everything is Mazda except for the badge, you’re driving a Mazda. Mazda platform and drivetrain, even had RX7 gauges and headlights. Had this discussion about badge engineering on Jalopnik earlier this week.
