Cool design, direct link http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/b ... -roadster/

125hp, does that mean has the water-cooled engine...possibly on the next production R?

Aside from the stats, that's clearly the new engine -- note the exhaust exits from the bottom of the cylinder heads. It isn't clear where the radiator(s) is/are. This is very intriguing, as it seems to indicate there will be a new roadster besides the R nine T. A production bike would likely be substantially different, but I like what I see.
