Wasn't them there more like 120 bhp and 140 at the crank?
 
Bigger engine? Why?
Traction control, ride by wire throttle and riding modes be my guess. Anyone who has ridden a Tiger 800 in Sport mode would be keen on the idea for the Rocket.
Styling wouldn't be anything like those mock ups. That Sport Touring isn't just sh1t, it would put the Rocket into the stupid class along with Victory Vision and FB6. Anyway, I'd like to see a more contemporary street fighter to complete the move away from being a cruiser rather than some bolt ons; perhaps something along Diavel lines or even VMax.
But 2300cc will be the engine size.

As above, once you get that RBW throttle you can have cruise control too, also I'd like just one more gear.
