If I read that right, that rearward facing cylinder has two fuel injectors.  I'm very interested to read an English report.

Yep. Can't imagine a performance EFI 2T ever working properly with only one injector - the fuel requirements vary so much from idle to WFO, that a single injector will either be incapable of supplying enough fuel at full throttle, or will be very difficult to control to give a good idle and low throttle response.

The bike is clearly a prototype (uncovered battery terminals, crappy looking exhaust stinger, etc), but it's good to see some fresh thinking.

Well nobody can say that they are simply playing 'follow the leader'.

Thank goodness it's not another 450cc four stroke - the world has enough of those thunderboxes already.

Now that is A+ for thinking.

Shoot them an email - an option to purchase in Phantom colours would be great...

Interesting rising-rate linkage from a side mounted rear shock.

Now that is a 'snail pipe'!!

It's growing on me....

Funny that. I like the green but I think something a bit more traditional would be better.

I hope they don't go for an MX version. Gasser learned the hard way. It's very difficult to compete with the big 5 in MX.

Can you imagine the conversation in the desgn dept? "Pedro, who's f&^%ing stupid idea was it to put the exhaust port at the back of the barrel? Eees ok for a trials bike but HTF are we going to fit an expansion pipe in there?"  ???

Nothing special about the pipe, the design is quite smart. The servo power valve is great feature. Will be very interested in seeing one in the flesh.
