the mounting for it is hidden from view currently, but it is there, while the kickstand itself was taken off for weight reduction reasoning.
I've never seen a GP bike up close.
Does Yamaha really machine their cases out of billet?

Not sure about upper cases, but I've seen lower cases that are billet.
Here's a pic from '09, upper and lower cases are billet, cylinder block and head are castings.
