Front disk mount looks inovative....mounted to wheel rim rather than the hub. First time I've seen that wrinkle - moves point of pressure outboard - might increase braking power.

I'm a bit out of date on bike technology - is this new or just something I missed before.

Nah, its been around a few years. Its a Buell design. they also put the engine oil in the rear swingarm and the gas in the frame.

That’s been on Buells for about forever now.

Fairly new. I think that brake rotor setup was introduced with the XB line about 5 years(ish) ago.
