I wonder if this means the end of the bonded frame technology that they've been pushing for a good few years?
I hope not. That thing is a masterpiece. Being bonded and made of several components i would think that it might be quite simple to adapt certain elements of it to accommodate the 600 engine and support a non coaxial sprocket arrangement.
Whatever they do they really need to try and get/keep the bike into to sub 140kg bracket.
