This motorbike exhaust - what am I missing

[Once Bitten]

I spotted this motorcycle and took a photo , then when I got home I looked at the photo again , now I’m no motorbike expert , but the bikes exhaust looks like its pointing the wrong way

 

What am I missing ?

Look at the other side of the bike. It's an exercise in plumbing on a Stallions 250 V-twin.

 

With all those bends plus the helical section under the swinging arm and the forward facing exhaust outlet, it's not going to do much for the performance or fuel efficiency of the bike.

Probably a silly idea to catch the eye of the chrome bling brigade and let people on bicycles know your coming.

Sort of like it 555

I like it too ! Well except for the forward facing muffler 5 5 5 5 5

Is that for those loud pipes saves life's brigade ?

1. Form over function. Somebody's just bought a pipe bender  and is having a play with his new toy. Ridiculous.

2. Those tyres. Form over function. Why do people put those DeathMasters on a Cafe styled bike?  Ridiculous.

3. That petrol tank is a Lyta or a very good Lyta copy. Bloody marvelous, as is the seat unit. I'd like to know who and where made them.

The bike looks pretty cool, except the exhaust, 555.

We used to try and build our pipes to be the same volume to try and get both cylinders breathing equally. But that - another form over function exercise.
