The Actual racebike doesn't use this VVT system...

The title of the article is misleading, this has nothing to do with MotoGP. Suzuki uses pneumatic valves on their MotoGP bike, which makes a VVT system unessesary. I too would like know where it fits into the WSBK rule book.

It’s cool and all, but the GSXR1000 has absolutely NO relation to MotoGP, nor does it need to abide by their Rulebook as the article suggests. Tell us how this system fits into the World Superbike rulebook where it belongs.

That yellow line you added cuts directly through the rear tire’s suspension travel path. I know this, because I own one. Here is a picture of the subframe and everything else under the seat.

The “dip” in the subframe frame allows the bike to have a reasonable seat height and adequate ride height at the same time. Without the “dip” the seat would be at least 32” high, which puts it out reach for many people and most first time riders. Function over form.
