Exhaust tuning is alive and well as a science, it's done on quite sophisticated computer models now as you'd expect. It didn't die with 2 strokes either did it, ask anyone with a variable valve timing engine or funny flappy exhausts.

Whys it interesting then.... well, it's a Husky SM with 10,000 miles, which IMO is quite interesting in it's own right

I had the Kettle when I was 18. And also had the GSXR which donated all the extra bits. Hmmm.

It's a KTM with different clothes, not an Italian Husqvarna.weeksy wrote: ↑Tue Dec 15, 2020 7:55 am https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HUSQVARNA-70 ... SwD1Bfz1k8

Imagine standing behind that, smelling the smoke and listening to it idle as the baffles rattle against the circlips...

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
The title says interesting. This is just horrible.
When we was growing up, even till my early 30s, Bimotas were summat to be drooled and wanked over.
But this hideous beast just killed the myth. Obviously designed the afternoon after the factory Xmas dinner.
Can we all club together to buy a gallon of petrol to set it on fire ?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I tried to find that a few days ago, after someone posted pics of a wooden framed bike! IIRC Superbike did a series of articles on it.
Even bland can be a type of character
