Spoiler alert

wasn’t that in the 90s?

I remember that Hayabusa project of Rad Greaves having an issue with that rule…

 

Does this like flip down and allow you to grill meats with the exhaust heat coming from underneath? Someone needs to get a photoshop of this immediately out to the interwebz.

 

could also double as a drying rack for sweaty gear…

 

I believe it was still around in the early 2000's. It came about from the banning of dustbin fairings.

 

Back of my MotoGP bike... less aero, more distraction... = profit

 

Tim pool loves wings on GP bikes

It lets them validate the CFD data

 

They don't even look like motorcycles anymore.

 

I'm always torn down the middle on the topic of tech in Motogp. The Engineer, and the racer in me want two totally different things. In the end, the Engineer wins out, because at the end of the day it's a prototype series, and I always nerd out over the stuff they come up with. I would have loved to work in the GP paddock on a race team.

I do miss the days of raw horsepower, and pure looking motorcycles with no aero, but was glad to have seen it progress and love to see all the different ways they make tiny gains now. Even though I think all the aero looks butt fugly.

 

These things look like they would buzz like a kazoo at speed
