It refers to the head being backwards, i.e. it's like a Triumph except the 
inlets and exhausts are the other way round.

People used to do this on Triumph twins to try to get some air boost, 
probably just resulted in overheated exhaust valves.

With a liquid cooled engine that shouldn't have been a problem and it may 
make things easier for packaging. The airbox could occupy the area right 
behind the steering head and feed into near vertical inlets.

See: http://202.186.124.145/petmos/RND/RnD_Engine_GP1.asp for pics when it 
was still scheduled for GP-1.
