it is a pretty bike to be sure. the v-twin is a very interesting idea for off-road. if they can get the weight down this would be a very interesting option for manufacturers. the next 10 years in this industry is going to be very exciting.
how about that exhuast system...pretty sweet.

the swing arm shape is very interesting. i wonder what the mechanical properties...i.e. is it stronger and lighter than the standard design used by most off-road manufacturers. i'm sure they have all looked at this as a place to reduce weight.

they talk alittle about it here. Just saying its the most ridgid on any dirtbike. which i can understand all modern 600 and up sport bikes have an extra brace on them. but they aren't artisticly designed like this one.
