hi guys
imho the lc8 should be compared to the af.twin, super ten, twin gs (various) and the like. the lc4 is in a similar league to the xr400-600-650/xt600/f650/dr650/klr650. having seen the lc8 in real life, it looks 'nice', has lots of plastic bits, is very tall... but shouldn't necessarily be compared to the lc4.
i'm told the battery (on the lc8) is down low for weight reasons and is apparently insulated well against the elements.
the lc8 is not my style (but if someone gave me one for free, i wouldn't say no!!). as it's a new bike, i'd also wait a couple of years for others to find the teething problems (that all new vehicles have) before i would buy one 
cheers
