There's a lot of talk about "modern" and "innovation" and "all new" and "redesigned" surrounding these new 4t race engines. If you really look at it though, it's amazing how little these modern, innovative, all new, and redesigned machines have over a bike like the old Maico 490.
Hell, yamaha's biggest 4t innovation in the last few years has been to flip the cylinder around. Big flipping whoop? 90% marketing, 10% actual improvement. And even that is probably being overly generous.
