Author Message   Coyote_xb12s Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 08:06 pm:        I thought you guys might enjoy this sweeeeet carbon fiber and unobtanium eye candy from HRC destined for Dani Pedrosa and Nicky Hayden's 2007 attack on MotoGP. NOTE: Notice the familiar exhaust placement?? Is Eric getting any royalties for design use? Or is imitation the true form of flattery from Honda??   Diablobrian Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 09:21 pm:        Erik's patent on the exhaust has to do with the shape of the exhaust helping direct air flow to the motor IIRC. I really like the minimalist fairings on these bikes!   Eboos Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 09:28 pm:        "I really like the minimalist fairings on these bikes!" Not much logo space, better charge the sponsors more. Who is that riding Pedrosa's bike? Is that one of HRC's test riders?   Tq_freak Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 09:28 pm:        Diablo, I do to. they are about as neked as a GP bike can get   Ft_bstrd Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 09:43 pm:        I want a shorter seat than even the Lightnings have. I want virtually no tail. This bike is getting very close. I want seat with no tail and the hugger. I likey this ALOT!   Diablobrian Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 09:47 pm:        naked, but functional. Note the pieces up against the motor to help smooth the air flow from the radiators so it will cool more efficiently. I'm just surprised at the stubby tail. That doesn't usually help much closing the air behind the rider. Especially when you hit 200 mph or so. But what do I know? I'm still just an amateur engineer, but I'm working towards becoming a pro.   Jiffy Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 11:20 pm:        They probably have that fairing on that bike so it is easier to access while testing. The real race bike will probably have more fairing...if not for more logo space at least.   Thespive Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 12:21 am:        Very nice looking bike. --Sean   Buellman39 Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 07:46 am:        Look at the front brake rotors, no cooling holes.   Glitch Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 07:59 am:        Look at the carbon fiber front brake rotors they don't use cooling holes.   12r Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 08:09 am:        Look at the carbon fiber front brake rotors they don't use cooling holes. YesveryniceIwantone   Diablobrian Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 10:10 am:        Not for the street you don't. They don't really work until they are HOT!   Rasta_dog Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 10:38 am:        Where did you get these sik pictures?   Moboy516 Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 10:44 am:        roadracingworld.com and superbikeplanet.com have had sik pics   Elff Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 02:12 pm:        I want that motorcycle to bear my children   Perry Posted on Tuesday, September 26, 2006 - 02:28 pm:        I'd rather it bear ME a few times around the track.
