Interesting.

What is the device that rides along with the fork, and looks like a very tiny blue fork, or damper?

More detailed....it tells the electronics where the fork is in it's travel.

Part of it is data-logging for knowing how the suspension is performing, also for electronic wheelie control (if it's legal).

(in the past) the worldsbk r1 "tank" was just a cover and the fuel was stored lower in the body w/ the filler in the seat.

i don't think the ama regulations allow that, but i'd have to look to verify.

I read in the April 2011 Sport Rider that Graves sent Hayes tank(s) to Gmeiner Racing Parts in Germany to have them reshaped to better suit his riding style. They didn't get specific on what they did. Also interesting is that Hayes doesn't use any electronic aids. Bascially has them all turned off ala old school style. Kinda neat! waytogo It's a good issue of SR. It's got the write up on Hayes' winning R1 plus rides and write ups by Alan Cathcart on Biaggi's Ape, Corser's Bimmer and Crutchlow's Yammyhammer.

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

most interesting is the sponsorship/no sponsorship  =)

(and the fact that nearly everything about the wsbk version is different)

Aren't there different homologated year bikes for the 2 series?

IE different model years, different bodywork?

Or are all the crossplane R1 bikes the same bodywork?

suspension travel

Correct. They use it to datalog the suspension travel for tuning purposes.

Wheelie control uses the same type of "gyroscope on a chip" that the iPhone (or WiiMote, for that matter) uses.

At least that's the DTC model.

The Sport Rider article said they were shortened by Graves to make them lighter. Apparently in 2009 the bike was way over the minimum weight so it went on a diet in 2010. Little bit here, little bit there added up to a lighter bike. They said it will be right on the weight limit for the start of the 2011 season.
