First class commentary and photos as usual CV! Did they say if they replaced the plastic gear with a new material?

The new version looks nice. It would look even nicer if thy put the exhaust pipe contact shield on in the right direction. EFI will be a major plus for them if they can get it sorted quickly.

A really strong and reliable 250 (even if it is a little "low" tech) would be a huge plus to the industry. We got these 250s and now 400's out there but I have a sneaky suspicion the long term testing and durability may prove to be a problem despite their good looks.
