that bike is a CF frame..... and a lot of new design cool stuff, he had ppl like Eddie LAwson and numberous others aid in design and testing.
The bike is VERY light and the MOTO GP bike is supossed to touch somewhere in the 250 HP mark... as for looks, its a individual taste, as for performance,.... its got potential to win, guess it depends who they get to ride it.
Personally i htink it would be my dream streetbike for weight and performance... since u cna buy it and its street legal, they should run it in the SS shootout drag race series... it would be a KILLER drag bike.
The cycel world article went to great detail on the bike and its design....all in all its got years of R&D and testing under it... i think itll be a bike capable of winning the GP.. question is can they get a rider with enough skill to ride past Rossi....so far no other bike with more power (and ones with more power then the Yamaha are many) has been able to outdo him....Rossi is the MAN to beat... i think itll take a exceptional machine advantage to take the title.
