Aprilia GP Bike
Goto http://www.mcnews.com.au/
In the Late braking News section, Article from Dec 7th Titled "Aprilia unveil their 4-stroke GP contender"
The engine is a three cyclinder bike and what looks like a carbon/kevlar valve cover. It also has a exhaust that goes 6-3-? kinda cool looking.

Why the 2 exhaust chambers?
Two exhaust valves per cylinder equals two exhaust ports.
On some bikes the ports join before they exit the head, but on this engine they are still separate when exiting the head and join later in the pipe. -ZXtra

I'm liking the cf throttle bodies and engine cover. I could also go for those carbon discs too but I don't have 4k to drop on a set.
