It just looks like a 'standard' H2 exhaust?

Fair enough. Albeit awful-looking standard exhaust?

A £60k supercharged Kwak!! :D

(That exhaust reminded me to put the bins out :thumbup: ).

The reviews are very positive in almost all departments apart from comfort and fuel economy - which won't be great concerns for buyers I wouldn't think - but it's a lot of money to chuck down the road on a track day :shock:

I like it - a lot. It's one of the best jobs I've seen I think. I'd be in the queue if the manufacturer built them like that. :D

More info here ( the builder is, unsurprisingly an F1 engineer. It weighs in at 160kg).

Even I quite like that. It has an air of purposeful simplicity about it.

I like the look, and especially the (lack of) weight. BMW/Honda/et al please note.

Maybe not that interesting but this was parked up next to me earlier on when I came back to the bike & I thought it was ace - learner bikes really do look properly good these days!
