I was thinking it's the 'pre-crashed' version. Save you the bother of accelerating headlong into a wall yourself.

Thank you guys !..
as always pics has to come first.. I am not the greatest of the fotographers...managed to get some iphone snaps of the beauty and the beast side by side.:-

I just did around 30 miles on her ..and loving her so far..Man..its a lot different than the gen 1...ample torque.plenty power...decent brakes...the V Boost test has to wait till the break in is complete..
the slipper clutch does well ..so need to be delicate with the toes..shifts slick..the sound is thunderous..need to have plugs for longer rides.. The bike is extremely nimble for the weight..she flicks pretty easy...dodging pot holes and other such is quick and easy..and her weight kinda dampens out little ups and downs you don't feel them at all...still we need to be mindful of the machine unlike the CB which is a breeze and relaxing ride..
we needn't talk even about gas at all here.. she is extremely thirsty..sucks right through the tank to your wallet.
over in all Ferret pretty much summed it up in one sentence:-
