Just by the specs alone, 51NM is quite weak...and you need to spin the engine up to 10k to get it. And given the dry weight of 229kg, it's damn bloody heavy. Not sure if MForce messed up and quoted wet weight as dry weight. If dry is 229, wet weight with 90% fuel will be 245kg. That's heavier than the new 1300GS.
Even the CBR650R is not well know for big midrange torque typical of medium displacement 4cyc ..but still has 64nm.
This is why middle weight bikes are going with twins. The 3k more expensive but much lighter 800NK (by 40kg) has 30nm more torque way lower in the RPM range. Don't need an expert to tell you which is the better buy.
on this video https://youtu.be/nOymgyRSx0Q?si=mD4fumulPdEchl1Q they had a weighting test for the srk600rr. with fuel filled to the brim, it weights at 233kg.Even the CBR650R is not well know for big midrange torque typical of medium displacement 4cyc ..but still has 64nm.
