They obviously did a retrosyle of the old 916/96/98: their most iconic and profitable line they ever made.
Took a few ques from Erik with the low centralized exhaust.
Guess they were impressed with how well the 240mm tire handled with the diavel and decided to follow suit.
With that short of a stroke I see it sounding less and less like a traditional v-twin and more like a traditional parallel twin-which I don't care for.
