Did Pablo Picasso design/engineer that atrocity?
It makes my eyes hurt and my mind cry out in pain like the Alderaanians did when the Death Star blew it up.

i know, it is an udderly disgraceful design. but for some strange reason, that "style" (if you can call it that) has a huge following in europe. look at the seating position - your legs are still relatively back, half of your *** (or at least my ***) would be hanging off the back you reach for the sky in a "praise jesus" fashion to grip the clipons. and then you have to concentrate on going down the road. it looks like one of those '60s era workout machines more so than a motorcycle.

It looks like two inbred brother and sister Yamaha motorcycles got together and had a baby, and the inbred mom smoked a bunch of weed and drank a lot when she was pregnant with it.

i'm just not quite sure about the exhaust. it's cool looking - but why a 180 degree bend followed by another 90 degree bend.... that would flow terribly i would have to think. i forget where i read it - but someone said each 90 bend is like adding another 10ft. of piping.... cant imagine how bad a 180 is.... not to mention how tight each additional bend is....

Yea why not just have it do an esse turn and pop out the back on the left? Then again I haven't started to learn about exhausts and engine back pressure. Throw me a suspension and I can do it but engines are still the black magic to me (at least anything above the standard stuff like timing and the tranny).
