Then, two radiators are mounted on each side of the engine, just behind the cockpit, where they hide in the engine and rear wheels. Seen from behind, you can see the rear suspension and a big scarf on the back with the exhaust coming out straight. This acts as a security incident silencers State, taking the impact in an accident. Another thing that is different: the instruments and controls are all mounted on the steering wheel center.
