The welding on that exhaust turns me on baby.
Second only to carbon wrap in my eyes It would be first, but I do have to admit the welding is alot more difficult.
It just looks like someone's final exam piece from advanced welding school or something. Especially in that kinda bike where it clearly ain't needed....at least in MotoGP they're doing it for good reasons like making very tight bends.

If I had to ride a 600 Blandit, I probably wouldn't mind if it looked like this...
Another XTR Pepo one.
That's reasonable. There's a race series for 600 Bandits, a couple of them were at Snetterton in the same group as me, they seemed to handle alright and were a little quicker in a straight line than my FZR400.

Formula Prostocks who race with NG have a class for them. I shared a grid with them at Thruxton once. They trashed the DesmoDue's down the straights, but were totally outclassed on the brakes/corners.
Ha, I remember phoning the factory to put my deposit down for one - and five minutes into the conversation my spidey sense was tingling so badly I thought I was being paranoid, but trusted my sense of self preservation and kept my money in my bank.
Best twenty five grand I never spent.

"Apparently" some owners got so fed with the ropey motors they stuck Triumph ones in them !
I think my KH500 cost £500 in 1986 in reasonable condition, I was a disappointed with it as it wasn't as fast as a 350LC, so I traded it back for my LC, I lost £30 on that deal
Maybe it reminds me of the bikes I grew up looking at as a pre-teenager?.... Don't think I'd want to pay £3.5k for it though.
I had a H2 b I think it was and spent a fortune on it and eventually let it go, the pipes are 3k ish for a good set (when and if you can find any) Petrol cap (common to the Z1 over £100) much better off buying one thats been done.
