OUCH. My friend who just bought one is going to be pissed. Well at least they were honest and offered to buy the bikes back. I wonder how many companies would actually try to do that.
Those bikes are still fast as hell though, damn.

i'd rag the shit out of it and get it bought back
what if you had dropped it or something? would they still buy it back?

I dont think it matters worth a damn - its still going to be way more bike than most riders are capable of exploiting. I wouldnt buy one because of the lack of (nonexistant) mid range power. Seems silly to have a street bike that wont get out of its own way coming out of a corner if the tach isnt above 10k rpm.

It's not like this should come as a surprise.
Historically a bike's tach doesn't register very accurately. It just happens that the marketing guys made a campaign off this one.
If you're really going to return your bike over a paper statistic than it's actual performance then you're a moron, anyways.

Please, it may have a weaker midrange than the 05 but its still got plenty of power. More power than you've got pal!
