Found this on another site. It's certainly different, but will it work?

Who cares if it works - I've just spent five minutes listening to the engine sound over and over again.

Me too. Funny how that can keep you entertained for so long while waiting for the bloody thing to load.

Well its different..... a 4cyl transverse straight but the engine is split in two, but only by a degree or two, very odd.... and as for the pipe set up, how long do they need em and its a 4-2-4. To be honest I dont think the yanks know what they are doing

but time will tell.

Wonder if it will be any better than a certain American company's attempt at building a World Superbike contender...

I wonder how they will get on with the twin shocks as well- it doesn't seem to have a rising rate linkage or anything. I'm still trying to figure out that front end

I wonder how much sideways flex is in those front forks.

4-2-4 is wierd. I'm thinking they have put in a lot of styling in order to get sponsers and the like. I wonder how many changes will get made once they start to make it competitive.

Still, good to see the yanks finally building their own race bikes. Hopefully, they'll do more.

That clip showing the bit where he is doing they clay modelling as given me ideas for doin my own fairing.
