2014 GasGas 450 Rally bike.

Back in my street bike days none of the big manufactures used Cush drives. Marchesinis on my honda never came with one either but my BST carbon fiber wheels on my kawi did. My gsxr750 never had one either. The rubber bushings are different from the actual Cush drive itself(the rubber integrated right into the hub with a cover). That's why I thought it weird to have the complete Cush drive assembly on the back of a dirt bike. If anyone has any pics I'd love to see them!

Have patients with me since I don't know about rally, but why the under exhaust? And the fairings. I realize the windscreen looking part houses the nav stuff but....

What year GSXR 750? I have a 1988 1100 wheel that definitely had rubber dampers in the rear wheel. My 1966 Honda S90 had them as well. I can't think of any road going bike that hasn't had them, are we talking apples to elephants? I'm talking about the cush drive that holds the sprocket and slots into rubber dampers that mount in the rear wheel hub.

Most rally type motos will have some type of cush drive to prolong driveline components. It's all about durability in rally raid.

Pretty much all the plastics are fuel tanks so space is a premium. Listed as 32L fuel capacity.

That front brake is bitchin' ! I'd like to have that on my bike.

My gixxer was 2009, cbr600rr 2008 and kawi zx6r also 2008. This is the type of Cush drive I'm talking about, I think I know what you mean with just the rubber o-rings seated in the sprocket holes .

All KTM LC4 bikes have cush drive.

Thanks for the info. It pretty much explains the low exhaust also
