Sometimes,in my old age,I look at things like this and kind of like the lines and the simplicity,but in the real world I bet it handles like a wheelbarrow! :lol:

Well, at least the back one looks like it does its job.

It would be OK but why do bearded moisturising enthusiasts in check shirts always ruin bikes by fitting them with cross-plies from a 1930's Morris 8?

On the Guzzi theme; this is nicer in the close up pics and has a couple of nice touches. But, that white oil filter... :wtf:

Nice bike, but never mind the colour of the oil filter, what about the location..?

Saw a bloke on an old Guz ride off the kerb at West bay last year and he took his filter clean off. He only got about 200 yards before his sump was empty. I did chase after him to try and warn him but luckily he spotted it so hopefully didn't lunch his engine.

Looks a bit like a stock ZX9 exhaust, it's got some proper clamps on it!

I wonder is the thinking is that an OEM exhaust from a larger capacity bike will handle the gasses as efficiently as a race pipe on a small capacity bike, while remaining road quiet.
