They're building the bike to win super bike races and I don't think shaft drive is going to allow them to be competitve with the other superbikes. A 403lb dry weight isn't too bad and with 193hp, it should be competitive with the other superbikes. Traditionally, BMWs had powerful engines but were just too heavy to be considered a superbike in the Ducati, R1, GSXR1000, etc. class).
Traction control and ABS are pretty good features too. The headlights just don't do it for me.
