A couple of pictures from the Sepang test of the 2006 MotoGP Yamaha M1 bike. Without the paint scheme on the bike you can see the total amount of carbon fiber on the bike ($$$$)

I'm sure it's been discussed elsewhere...but just can't get used to the new can style yet....I was just getting used to under the tail, and now this :lol:
Can anyone give me advice on how to create a sig? I can't for the life of me figure out how to do one.

you're right nbot, the new exhaust is very strange. although it doesn't look too bad here.

on the new r6 the exhaust looks like total crap. boo to the industrial design team on that one. i think the new gixxers are following the same route.

Jason,
I just got a look at the new R6 exhaust recently and it sure is strange looking. I guess they decided to design it for the track (AMA Supersport, Superstock). More and more the Big-4 from Japan are designing their "R" and "RR" sportbikes for the track.
