i can see the benefits but don't think it was a neccasery (sp) change really. fair enough riders might want low front ends and it gives more welding serfice for the top/down tubes (increasing strength.) but firstly, the 08's had a low front end anyway and how many snapped V10 headtubes have you seen? eh..
but may turn out to be a good move..... we'll see

not see any snap but had 2 different V10s come through our workshop with flared headtubes
(one guy ended up buying a Chaparral off us)
bloody hell, you have to be either jaw dropping or a bloody idiot to set a bike up capable of flaring a V10 headtube, they are chunkier than most other 1 1/8s i've used
btw did either have super monster T's fitted?
