Synergy update

I just saw that Synergy Motorsports updated their website. These were the people that made the carbon fiber-framed YZ400 several years ago. I heard a while back that they were working on their third generation frame, but I was very surprised to see that they're developing their own 450 four stroke engine, as well.
The setup looks very Cannondale-ish: reversed cylinder head, EFI, fuel tank under the seat. They're shooting for 60 hp at 11,000 RPM, and claim to be using F1 technology (no details). The chassis is still all carbon fiber and looks very similar to the one they made for the YZ400. One of the pix they show almost looks like a photoshop job of the new engine in the old chassis.
I hope they are successful in finishing the development, even though I doubt there's any way I could ever afford one.
