|  Chassis geometry set for short...  Chassis geometry set for short wheelbase and proportionately longer swingarm. |  Compact engine mounts below...  Compact engine mounts below main frame tubes for lower centre of mass. |
 Frame tubes run over engine...  Frame tubes run over engine rather than around it for much slimmer design than existing twin-spar models. Shorter seat-handlebar distance increases rider freedom of movement. |  |  Bottom-located main (clutch)...  Bottom-located main (clutch) shaft lowers centre of mass. Triangular shaft arrangement reduces engine length and centralises mass. |
