I found this on the Honda stand at the Motorcycle Live show in the UK today. It was in amongst all the road bikes being largely ignored. Seems to be on of Tim Gajser's full factory bikes. As you don't normally get to see one that close I took some pictures so you can see all the exotic factory parts on it-
The Shop
Ive wondered before why the factories spend thousands and thousands on super light-weight titanium fasteners along with other special metals, all in the name of dropping weight, but then use the supersprox sprocket with the steel outer-ring.
It doesn't make any sense- supersprox make some perfectly good aluminium sprockets and they could have a new one for each moto almost, not that Id believe they would tear up a new aluminium sprocket in one moto anyway.
Like I say, not much sense in spending thousands to drop weight, only to use the heavier than necessary option elsewhere.
