Mind you, I'm a die-hard Buell guy now that I've got 2 of them, but those RSV4's really did catch my eye, at least the engine did. Wouldn't mind making an exhaust system for one just to see what I could do with it for sound and power.

I don't think so. Specs will be similar to the RS, slightly heavier (no CF, etc.) and less trick parts, but still a pretty good ride for the price. I'd like to get my hands on one for "testing and development" on the exhaust front.
My guess on parts, probably the showa BPF on the front, maybe ohlins out back and ballpark 165-175 hp at the wheel. Stripped down weight, 375 lbs or less, just depends on what all gets taken off. I know they had to add ballast on the 1190 rr, I think the same with the RS when it came to race weight. I couldn't talk them into rolling one outside so I could see it last week, but I didn't try all that hard either.
