Or turn it black?

If you look a little closer at the picture, you will see that the exhaust-tips are facing more outwards, blowing the exhaust more out to the sides! The only minus would be your burnt leg I guess....

Yea real rocket science here. They put a cargo for gas and got the exhaust pointed at whatever you put there. Whats wrong with deflecting the exhaust 30 degress to the side. I cant beleive the money some of these designers get paid and still got no common sense. :ORC

Just check the picture one more time..... :shock:

Well, at last they have incorporated a luggage/gas-rack for the mountain-models!!!! It's about time! It's good that they made a storage-space in the seat also. I like the Apex Mountain better and better the more I study it! The look is also growing on me allready....

This must be an option added later, didn't see any pics on-line.

Well if it is deflected I dont think it is near enough going even 50 mph is going to make things go straight back.

Found the pic, you're right.

Who really wants rider forward so badly? Been on a Rev and an Fcat and its fun for a bit, but the high speed stability sucks. Not to mention the weight the RX is already carrying to the front. IF they were going to do it - they should have taken Pols idea for adjustable bars.

I am plenty happy with my 05 - other than FI, the guage and Floats - there is not much else there that is intriguing - specailly for another $1500.

 

[SnowdemonsRX1]

Yeah and what about a turbo sled , don't they push more exhaust out than a normal rx1 or what ever they call them now, It just looks like a bad ideer to me but I just run a dozer so I don,t know a thing :?

 

[RSV]

I wouldn't worry about it, it's not an Arctic Cat, you know.... They won't release somting without considering every possibility for injuries/damages! It's a Yamaha, for crying out loud!

 

[impalapower]

Rider foward, big deal, its like Dodge Intrepid with cab foward. Did it change anyones life? No.
