ML... ask R&D why they went with dual exhaust? Sound?

I like singles better personally...

Is the rear shock actually shorter? or did they just move it down, keeping similar shaft stroke measurements.

Do they know that YOU'RE the guy who spied on them last week and leaked photos?

I read here in there that manufactures were toying with the idea of using fly wire for the throttle set up is that something that might be on this 2017 crf450?

The factory rally bike uses fly by wire throttle.

Details on forks (I know you will ask that anyway lol), also does the graphics looks better in person in your view? Oh and is there a holeshot device for 2017?

For R&D guys....is there scope for a dual cam engine in the future or have they ruled that out?

Yes I would guess all you mentioned too but we are at the mercy of ML for internal diffs.

There was a time not more than a few years ago that fox was the team sponsor for their team shirts and clothing even though the riders wore other brand gear
