Flat Trackin'.


I came across this on the VFT site yesterday. I've loved the motor on the '10 Yamaha 450's since first seeing it, and this flat track set-up looks like major league fun times!

  2. If you look closely you'll see that it's also reversed. Throttle body in front, exhaust shooting out the back. Supposedly it make it almost perfectly balanced and mass centralized.
