But, as far as I have heard, it's not in production yet ! Hope your right about size and compactness, but from the showroom to the street, they all seem to change alot !I would not be surprised if the new bike had a six cylinder in it .
A recent article spoke about how the six cylinder Stratophere's 1100 cc engine / width would fit easily inside the fairing cowling of the 2005 GSXR-1000 .
With that design they have , and in how they built the lower crankcase , I could see them building a 1300 inline six thats as narrow or or even less than the current Busa engine . That Stratosphere engine is slim n trim .
