Looks like a cross between a homemade mini bike exhaust, a basket of snakes, and a bag of dicks zip tied under the seat

Looks like the bike is growing dicks.

Something tells me that this is just one of the red flags why the bike is suffering a little in SBK. Engineers thought this might actually do something.

Just passed the halfway point for the season, they're getting desperate to improve results.

Here's the new exhuat for Misano...this one has lots of top end

In the SR article they mentioned a cost of $18K for the new exhaust system.

I think it's interesting. Gigi must believe that they can still work the twin a bit to bring parity to the series. I'm for any improved exhaust that makes removing th belly pan easier.

Either way they need to extract a little more cause STKK the Pani needs a little more to compete with Aprilia and BMW.

to the uninitiated what am I looking at here? undertail exhaust?

Okay, maybe a tad off of the exhaust thread..........but what is going on with the rear suspension too? Clearly different that what we mere mortals are provided with

Did they just flip it around?

it's a different shock

Essentially, yes. There's not room on our bikes to flip around the shock that we're provided, I looked after seeing this pic. I think that they do this to, one, provide more crash protection to the "business" end of the shock, and two, to keep the reservoir from being cooked by the rear header/mid-pipe. If you look at the regular bikes the reservoir is sitting within about 3 inches of the pipe. Not good.
