Check out Cycle World's FZ-07 first ride review! Short version: under 400lbs wet, under $7k, and a claimed 58MPG highway. Pretty clear it's meant to compete with Honda's well-reviewed NC700X commuter. The FZ-07 sounds like another great mid-sized commute bike, hopefully coming to the U.S. in 2015!

CA CHP Forced to Remove Lane-Splitting Guidelines from Website
The AMA announced today that a lone complaint forced the California CHP to remove lane-splitting guidelines from their web site.
The CHP lane-splitting guidelines were posted in 2013 to help raise awareness about the legality of lane-splitting and encourage traffic safety. They were also seen as an implicit endorsement of the practice by the CHP.
To daily lane-splitters such as myself the removal of the guidelines is a reminder to split sensibly. If it takes only one angry guy to pull the guidelines, we don't want an organized group of angry drivers pursuing legislation. The practice of lane-splitting not only saves time but decreases traffic congestion and increases motorcycle safety when practiced responsibly. Banning lane-splitting hurts everyone, let's not let it happen.
Follow the latest lane-splitting news on the lane splitting is legal site, or on Facebook.
The deleted guidelines can be downloaded from the AMA web site or my personal site.
Edit: I also started a thread on BARF.
