Despite that article describing the oe exhaust as awkward looking I very much disagree with that, in fact the twin stacked cans arrangement (minus the cat of course) is far more elegant than this showy piece of nonsense.
And those footrest hangers are the ugliest I’ve ever seen!
But where this fails the most for me is that blind attempt to have the horizontal cafe look sat awkwardly on top of the v shaped trellis frame leaving an ugly gap above the frame, the sportclassic tank could be made to work with some adaption but that seat unit just looks like it’s been left there because they couldn’t think of anything else, deciding to put the pointless exhaust outlet there just made it worse.
I don’t know what the little gauge and the blue frippery bits are meant to do, perhaps a temperature gauge to measure how much they heat the oil line by having it inside those gaudy header pipes, not good planning there.
I think my own bike is nicer!
