I'm not sure who it's aimed at, it's a bit tame for dedicated track use, and the riding position is wrong for road use.

You won't.
But you might have a better chance in persuading her that a 100bph RS660 is better

74bhp doesn't sound much from a modern 700cc bike. Are there tuning bits available?
