That right/wrong cyl thing is weird, there is nowhere for any airbox and the carbs will get cooked, surely you want the centre cyls to be reversed for the exhaust route and then the carbs won't overheat.

The carbs on my gsx600f had jets 10% smaller due to heat, how far will they have to go with this. Could be a wind up, or something to confuse competitors?

Mechamex were doing this, they run the TZrd350 you can see in the other pikkies, the airbox was rather nifty with the rad in the oil catcher

the front wheel will pick up crap, so I assume having them outboard might make sense.

I don't think they would have made the spannies as is and just to forget about the rest of the bike

True, just seems odd, keep your legs warm in winter I suppose. Just seems an awful lot of things are going to have to fit in a very small space.

While getting pretty fkin hot at the same time, imagine trying to sort the jetting when the temps are so extreme, 2 cooled carbs with cold air and 2 heated fed with hot which gets more extreme the longer it runs..

Its a protortype after all, the rd700 at squires had carb problems with heat and they were in the 'right' place.

 

Hey, I'm not called cynic for nothing. Love the 'o'ring barrels though.
