2011-03-08 23:01		That's right, but the bike's official name was changed when the team name changed: www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?next=yes&article=11004

2011-03-08 22:36		From Wikipedia: "The KR3 was built by Modenas for Modenas KR Motorcycle Grand Prix team from 1997 to 2001 before taken over by Proton from 2002 to 2004 with the same machine before the team moved to Proton KR V5 machines."

So this IS a Proton KR3.

Did a little more digging and found out this bike is called Modenas KR3, not Proton.
