<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (wise_mumu @ Jan 21 2008, 02:22 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Just wondering, if aero is a BIG concern, why do yamaha insist in using a conventional exaust while others are trying to avoid something sticking out of the sides?
i would assume it's because yam still use an inline 4 engine which i would imagine is harder to conceal the exaust and keep the weight down and everything cool. the honda has moved its exaust out in the open as well if i remember correctly.

Its yamaha's traditional design... i can see a few years in the doldrums in the future when they have to change it.

No ..... I think they ripped off Casey's bike and painted it and slapped on a 46. (After they ripped off Casey's tires of course).

Nah really though, it does look like a Ducati in disguise.
