...apparently lighter than the standard telescopics
of coarse perhaps 8 pounds of that was saved in the Marchesini and 320mm single disk... but youre right...
braking was one of the issues why it never became aftermarket...

I gotta agree with Jan on this one.
It's freakin hideous :-& , dosn't stop [-o< ......... So what the heck was the point of it again???
KR-1R..... If I had that in my garage, I'd be selling it and getting a nice zxr636 USD front!

WHITE POWER SUSPENSION - WP MONOARM
...would that be piled up next to the shredded Bimota Tesi you didnt want as well?
I'll add that to the reasons it never went anywhere then...
1. Cost - of the custom lightweight wheel / hub.
2. Modifications to headstock - the stem size had to be beefed up for the asymetric loads.
3. Peformance - better road feedback, worse for braking
4. Appearance - breaking 100 years of telescopic tradition.
...at least they did it on a KR and not an RGV - thats enough for me to like it
Yokohama 003's - they were the SHIZZLE ^^^^^^ man

oh, theres no denying its not pretty but in a weird way, it looks kinda trick. maybe the wp shock/marchensini components sway my opinion but id love to have that and get it so it is actually BETTER all round than just better in a few areas. with todays braking tech ie radial this n that i think its possible. im sure the fact it only has a single 320mm disc isnt the only reasonm behind the ''poor'' braking ability. would definitly turn heads at a club race on a kr, why it turns heads is another matter!!
