Is that a twin piper there or single?

It looks like they've grabbed the latest model Yamaha FZ-1 muffler and stretched it.

Apart from that, it does look great.

Just one pipe can see the 4 into 1 piece here

Yep, I like that too, except for the mortar launcher on the side. That would definitely have to go and a Yoshi or Muzzy replacement from day one eh?

Damn, I bet you could cover some miles on that thing. The exhaust does detract somewhat from the overall package though.

the muffler looks like they expect it to get replaced as soon as the bike is sold. Its a shame that noise regulation seems to be dictating so much of the exhaust design lately.
I like the bike though.

I think you might find things like Euro 3 emmission regs are making some of the designs ugly as they incorperate cats etc in them as well
