It literally screams - maybe like a tiny Ferrari? I'll post some video sometime.

After the marathon session needed to unlock that one, I am happy to just putter around with the rest of the bikes, and if something else gets unlocked great - (although I heard getting all Gold in Super unlocks the Yoshimura X1.. )
After seeing the NR750 in your post today I went and beat all the golds...the Super license gives you the YOSHIMURA KATANA 1135R '01, not the X1...you get that from coming in in 1st place in the Monster Series Championship...it's an excellent bike, but a bit unstable at high speeds.
