    Very clean and practical design. Love the air-in-takes!!!

    I wonder how it sounds? The intakes is very close to your face and you are going to get all of the induction noise...

    is that thing in the tank a supercharger? or just a buzzy looking air intake?

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    115 bhp @ 6250 rpm...torque 115ft/lb @ 4250 rpm,intake flaps sticking out of tank are digitally controlled to help breathe better at higher rpm,not sure on the figures for yamahas MTO1 but would like to see how they match up.

    Mufflers on the red one are ugly but the blue race bikes pipe looks horny. And the air intake on the top looks exactly like something off a street rod.

    Tank can't hold much with those intakes through the middle of it.

    Love the looks but wouldn't want to have to stop for gas every 10k

    Tank is under the seat GENIUS!

    EDIT and the vast majority of air boxes sit just under the tank and in front, ever had your tank off? It will be alot smaller than it looks from the outside

    EDIT2 no it wont you have a GN, ok take a cbr or generic sports bikes tank off and have a look

    What's with the French and stripes down the middle? Roof helmets are the same, and aren't they French too? It's a good look regardless
