RSV4 Launch Pictures

I thought we'd have a new thread since the other one is so damn long.

Here is the first leaked shot of the new RSV4 from a MCN cameraphone:











NOW - THE LARGER ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

Doesn't look like the photo is available. Did you save it or have it cached?

They changed the location of the picture as they added more commentary to their article.

It's back now

That is badass. Exhaust is a little funky but I love how the frame opens in a triangle to reveal one of the cylinders. Love it.

Glad we're over gold frames and blue wheels. That boat anchor looks ugly and probably weighs a ton. That would be the first to go. Love the aftermarket one on the race bike though.
But why go back to the 2-1 arrangement? I've just swapped the 2-1 exhaust on my '05 Tuono Factory for an Akra 2-2 and the performance gains are incredible. Seems like a poor decision to me.......

There is a torque vs. horsepower consideration in the 2-1 vs. 2-2. I'm sure they know what they are doing

AND FWIW who cares about the exhaust - everybody knows it's the first thing to go! Most go before they hit the street.

P.S. - I VERY MUCH AGREE an am very glad to see a silver frame and black wheels!!! NOW - Let's have it in ALL black!!!!!
