In sadder news, with the new Euro 4 emissions regulations and mandatory ABS coming for many areas of the world this these long-running mid-range sportbikes may have to bite the dust. The current model will continue to sell in the U.S. due to less stringent emissions standards, but in most of the world, its days are numbered.
