    Twin pipe classics?

    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.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    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.

    The look absolutely awesome in action, and sound really good too!
