    There might be some viewers out there who are old enough to remember the old Suzuki RE5 rotary engine bike that had the same type (although primitive) of forced air exhaust pipe cooling because of the tremendous exhaust heat that was generated from the rotary engine- they had large air openings where the headpipes met the front of the mufflers to try to reduce the exhaust pipes temperature, but riders were still burning the soles of their boots - Great information Simon as always- These Moto GP engineers are true geniuses-

    Motorcycle engines are designed back to front , they’re old fashioned design came about because of the carbs . We proposed a reverse design the exhaust exiting from the rear so the heads would be the opposite way round . The exhaust would integrate into the rear hugger . It’s would be a fuel and air injection system and a larger radiator in clear air at the front with no headers getting in the way or bleeding hot air . The power output would be 40% greater . Suzuki was given the offer but said “ not a the moment “ . As was using a rear view camera to a multi led screen , no need for mirrors and taking your eyes of the road.

    Great stuff Simon, as always.
    Can you do a segment on how they check if a bike is bent/not bent after a big crash? If a bike goes flipping through the gravel some stuff is obviously bent or wrecked. Sometimes though, the damage might not be so obvious. Do they have a jig or some type of laser set up to check if the frame or forks or whatever is bent after a crash?
