Hmmm, same power as the old Vee, basically same torque but spread over a much wider power band.
Yup, should be good for crusing around right on the grin inducing power at most real world speeds with the same top end as the current bike (if they are still restricting it to 125mph-ish).
Juv, the Vee has always had gear driven cams from a chain primary.
I think the original VFR750's were gear driven from the crank - no chain primary, if my memory of the old bike mags and their engine cut-aways is still intact
