i honestly stared at these pics for over an hour late last night!!!

Plus the ZX-RR gp...laugh if you want, but the motor looks a TON like a ZX-7RR albeit about 10 years and $1,000,000 better...very familiar thou! I love how goddamn trick that ZX-RR GP bike is....and then they put on a set of OEM EX500 grips! :lol:

ENjoy...i did!

Anger from the big jap bike companies has caused FIM to rule that Bayliss my stand INSIDE his 1198 Ducati and CARRY & RUN with the other boys in 2008

Alrighty, I looked at that last pic have you posted for a while too from Soup, and frankly thought the header was off. Then they posted a few more this morning that are even closer with more detail. After looking closer, the exhaust exits are not on the forward part of the engine. So help me out here Eric...where in the heck is the exhaust routed to on the Kwaker GP bike?

Does it come out the back side of the engine? I'm guessing this has to be it and the intake is very high on this "skyscraper" tall engine, so there is room for both! But to me that presents flow issues and the mechanical arrangement of the valves....very interesting to think about. Or are the exit gasses internally routed and the exhaust exist comes out underneath or on the side of the engine! But then that "traps" heat in my way of thinking and since these beasts creat so much power, I'd think heat dissapation would be something the engineers try to maximize. Anyway...I'm stumped!

Very cool looking, but it got me thinking....do you know or have ideas where the engine is puking the exhaust gasses to?

exahust goes out back, the injection IMO would be top of CC, thru the head! VERY $$$$$ TRICK..Reason is packaging..they can get the motor WAY closer to the front wheel for shorter bike, better weight distribution, etc.. The "bronze" colored thing on valve cover is the Fuel rail i suspect...right side is the gear cam drive setup..notice how HIGH up the crank sits as well...keeps out of the oil bath for even more hp loss prevention...pretty cool set up!
