At 7,000 GBP, that's about $7,800 at Friday's close of Forex, which is really aggressive pricing. I have my doubts that it'll come in that low if it hits the US but if the USD continues it's recent strength against the Yen, it's possible.
I'd be interested in what a "Transalp" version looks like. I would like to see a more upright-styled bike with some luggage capability.
You usually can't just do an exchange rate swap like that. In the UK manufacturers tend quote an "on the road price" which includes everything, all taxes, PDI, dealer delivery fees etc. It is the most quoted price in this neck of the woods. MRSP is rarely used here. Also, that OTR price includes a hefty 20% sales TAX (VAT) which you may not have in your state.
A better comparison is to look at the relative costs of a bike already on sale in both markets and make that comparison and apply it to the Hornet. The only thing I will say is that exchange rates are all over the shop at the moment, prices could be quite volatile.
