Nope, dude is out of shape. He might run the pace for 3-4 laps but after that he would fade like an etch a sketch on the back of a harley on a cobblestone road.

I thought RV said in an interview that he wasn't racing the Monster Cup.

I'm pretty sure these are ten lap mains and thats gonna equal about fifteen min mains, if you think RC cant do 15 minutes strong I believe you are mistaken. In my experience I have been beaten on several occasions by an older larger guy and I know RC has the talent and determination to give these guys a run for their money.

I think it is a full CF frame, look closer, like at the hole behind the head-tube, looks full CF and you can see CF behind it.

RC's had a Monster helmet and graphics without Rockstar since Rockstar signed on with Suzuki.

nothing is missing on the bike but the rider.

also, he is only getting it ready to go to test ride the track since mcgrath and RC are building it. im sure MC is putting together a monster crf450 right now for the same exact reason.

I win.

I'd have to say a set of "good looking" graphics. Those are hideous.

Impregnated sheets of CF are layed over a mold. The part is put in a vacuum bag and the air is drawn out. The vacuum pushes the CF down into every nook and cranny of the part. The process is continued until a desired thickness is reached.

That shock is not CF though. You can tell by were the threads are cut for the preload nut that the material is an anodized steel. In this case, the CF was probably layed right over the shock body and I bet it's pretty thing.
