. im a supporter of spec software, not spec bikes. dont bother putting words in my mouth when u dont understand what i typed. u misunderstand my prev post.
the series has introduced new TIRES with a completely different character to the last ones, much less front grip and much more rear grip. they are also now using a diff rim size. this is the largest change GP has made in a long time. given that the bikes are designed around the tires, i was expecting some change in their outward appearance. all that has nothing to do w/ spec software.
i guess GP bikes are just so good now that even changes in tires only require a small adjustment to weight distribution, which can be accomplished with minor changes. except the Ape of course, their bike sucked so we are going to see much larger changes.
I don't see how a change in tires, while significant, would impact any outward appearance changes beyond something minor. Even substantial geometry changes or Yamaha moving their gas tank around would be pretty easily hidden under existing body work with minimal changes.
The teams are probably already so overwhelmed with the existing changes that putting a new body together, including the tooling, wind tunnel testing, and "mass" production just isn't possible.
for your track bike
