what i want to know is why they are spending so much time with the complete rsv4 package? when they build their own frame, it will probably completely change the characteristics of the bike, unless they feel that the standard rsv4 frame is adequate, and plan to reverse engineer it and stick an aspar logo on it??
maybe they are just flogging the guts out of the engine at the moment to see what it can do, but then again, why wouldnt they test it on a bench?
can anyone shed any light on this?
The only mention of modifications I've seen is that the chassis is covered in duct tape, and people who are at the test are saying it's to cover up the chassis mods. SBK is allowed to modify the chassis though so no telling what is exactly going on with the bike.
