Many may know that Tadao Baba designed the CBR929RR.
But how many have wondered, who designed the RC51?
Well here he is.
RC51 Project Leader, Naoyuki Saito, next to his baby.

I like how the picture makes him look like a giant.....he's probably about 5'2:D
Thank you Saito-san!

I am still trying to get the name of the design team members in Japan from the Mother company....very top secret at Keihin's M3 plant. Since this is an old design, I would like to have a copy of the drawings for SP1/SP2 assys. Imagine the swag that would generate....;)
