 From what ive heard and read,
Speci does not call it the new demo, but the new sx..
Dunno if its true but its the latest ive hard and read since maribor.
And tbh, sx and demo are 2 great bikes, combined cuz just be what both lacked in the first place

 unfortunately lots of people care about looks too much over performance i love boxxers but these are ugly like the past few people have been saying it looks like an old 888

 Do you just make things up as you go along and hope everyone will believe you?

The frame is clearly a new form of demo, it was due an update anyway as the the shape has been pretty much the same for the past 5years with changes being very minimal.

The stantions are most likely to remain pro issue only for at least another 2years, the coating is said to wear very quickly and that's not exactly ideal for the average weekend rider. These guys will do whatever they can to shave milliseconds off their times, just because they ride it doesn't mean we get to ride it the next year.

 Skawt hit it on the head.

The new Demo is Alu. It is a mix between an SX and a Demo.

The new coating on the Boxxers is a blackbox thing. If we do see it in production it wont be until next season at the earliest. Who cares if it looks bad? It increases performance.
