Isn't it just? I prefer it without the faring to be honest. I'd love something similar to this with lights/road legal.

Is the left header kinked in for ground clearance? As it has separate header & exhaust (I hesitate to say 'silencer') for each cylinder, presumably they don't all need to be the same length? Or is it, that for two strokes, the entire thing has to be a certain length?
