Orange future...

The under engine exaust is quite nice, but the practicalities of it would worry me. Ie go over a speed hump and ding it. Just how fragile it is to potential undercaridge damage. One of the reasons I quite like the underseat exausts is (besides adding symatry to the bike) is that it's out of the way and wont be damaged by minor bins etc.

I don't think it would hit though. It's not any lower than other sport bike pipes then the go under the engine. I like the underseat pipes aswell for much the same reason, though I think duel pipes one to a side looks lits better.

I like those.

(Now more than 3 words) I really like the XB9 City X or whatever it's called. It's pretty pretty.

Talking of Buells. Anyone else seen that 5 or 600 that they've come out with?

Oh, you wouldn't have to worry. Just take it with a bit of speed and jump over

I like it, very much. Would like it more if the fairing at the bottom was straight, like the rest of it. The curve at the bottom doesn't look like it should be there

Huge step in the right direction for KTM

yeah, that exhaust design is very interesting. It surprises me how well they seem to have snuck it in there. go the boys from Austria! I wonder if we'll see the japanese following that trend in a year or two like they (well, everyone except suzuki who had an acid nightmare instead and came up with the K5 1000) eventually followed the Ducati underseat styling?

Do you mean the Buell "Blast"
Looks a bit out of proportion compared with its bigger brothers
