I'm not seeing separate front and rear subframes. Look at the mount on the back of the head. That looks like 2 tubes butt welded onto that mount, not two separate pieces. I see that dogbone-looking member that boxes in the rear section of frame, but I don't see how the rear subframe is separate from the front subframe.

I see the swing arm mounting to the rear of the case directly. That's smart use of space.

It really looks like any other cradle-style frame, but it looks all one piece to me which is different than a "traditional" supersport where the cradle and the rear subframe are separate pieces.

Getting to the valve cover is likely just taking off the tank and airbox.

How often do you plan to work on the engine other than an oil change or valve job anyway?
