Wonder if it will make a "Nom Nom" sound if you press the horn.

This RR looks fantastic!  When I click on the link to access the collection of photos it asks me for a password.   :-\
I can find any of the photos on the website Smugmug portal.  You must have G14 classified access.

They should be available once ICON gets a chance to get their press release out.

Must be a Hong Kong issue? I can assure you that if I have G14 classified access I'm going to feature that prominently on my resume.

I also get a password prompt. Got a sneak peek earlier though : ) Icon doesn't do tame designs..

Note to self... keeping anything "secret" at a public track day is nearly impossible.  The official release of the livery design will be done by Icon this coming Monday.  You'll see some much better photos of what they've come up with for the bikes and riders.  It's very impressive in photos and even more so in person. 

The gallery will be "unlocked" after the release.  Sorry for the teaser... you (Brammofan) weren't supposed to find that!

Oops. It's not the first time I've unearthed secret info by being a persistent octopus (many arms testing many sources for information).  I looked at all the photos and am really impressed with the livery.  The red one is reminiscent of nose art on WWII fighters. Very cool.

Anyone notice the new swingarm?! Much more refined looking than what it replaced. Dare i say the RR looks even more production ready :D

And that swing arm looks like it would save a lot of weight compared to the previous RR.

Does anyone else notice any differences between E Boz and Steve-o's bikes (besides the obvious graphics)?

I see the wheels and front brake rotors.  The wheels are probably marginally different, but the difference in front brakes seems a bit more significant.

The drivers do get to give input and do have certain preferences...

I know that at SECA there were a number of changes made to the bikes before that weekend...and SteveO wasn't in love with one of the brake changes and The BrammoTeam changed that back to the one SteveO felt more comfortable with...

At least that was my impression...Brian would know more...I was an intermittent observer as I was most "selling" the bikes at the marketing tent...

Last year EBoz was running Dunlop DOT racing tires where Atlas was running Pirelli slicks with a wider rear tire.  Now according to Atlas's latest blog post on Brammo's site (http://www.brammo.com/blogs/?p=1781 (http://www.brammo.com/blogs/?p=1781)) he will be running Dunlops this year.  Its a pretty big change for him, but I think he's OK with it.  Either way this is wide open prototype racing, and unless the team has a brake sponsor the riders can ask for what they want.  Actually the riders may have contracts that require them to use certain rotors or brakes.  EBoz has a deal with Dunlop which is why he was riding their tires last year.  So differences are to be expected.  Good catch though.

But if you want actual info and more pictures you might want to check here: http://esbk.co/2013/03/25/icon-brammos-2013-paint-schemes-revealed/ (http://esbk.co/2013/03/25/icon-brammos-2013-paint-schemes-revealed/)
