That looks like a narrower engine!!!! Maybe a inline3 or v4?!!!
Wait, can't be a v4! no extra pipes.
An I-3? Those couldn't even hack it in the 990 era when they were trying to keep power down. Unless Yamaha have an ace up their sleeve, I can't imagine they could make an I-3 competitive.
I guess we can dream tho
Maybe, it's a staggered, twin banked I-3
That's the easiest way to get revs without boosting piston velocities and you don't have to have to worry about pneumatics just yet. It would be a dog in the corners with that much spinning mass, but Vale would be passing Stoner on the straights
Thanks for the pics, Coriolis.
