Pretty sure Fortnine Ryan was deliberately exaggerating its capabilities and claims of being a race bike they simply added lights to.

To be specific he said is was as close as you could get. Same engine, frame as the Privateers race bikes for purchase.
I would assume they added a battery too. I kind of doubt the races bikes had an electronic starter. Still... it is bad ass.

Faster, lighter and more powerful. That pretty much sums it up. (I'm not biased 
)
There was a Japanese Market RG400 as well.
