What make are the classic race bikes that have two high mounted exhausts? One on either side of a cafe race style seat. Does anyone have decent photos of them?

There were a few of them racing at Wanganui and at the Road Race Spectacular - unfortunately I was never close enough to get a good look at them.

very close but not quite the same.

These ones had the pipes level with the seat height, and stuck a good 6inches if not more out past the tail.

The bikes were red which had me thinking ducati, but the other guy in i was marshalling with reckoned they were norton/triumph.

I've seen a few Trumpy twins done up like that. Looked like T120s to me, but I wouldn't know. That was at Puke, might be the same bikes.

My money would be on an old Commando.
