Noise nuisance - what a g load of horse manure in most cases

[Litespeed]

My current ride is a 1991 TDM 850 yamaha. This was the adventure bike original and the jap version of the Paris dakar racer.

 

Gone are all big body work, twin headlights, instruments, panniers, racks- in fact anything non essential.

 

Weight is now about 180kg and down to finally 172kg when finished.

 

Now it is a real fun machine and runs rings around the SV650 in the shed.

 

The extra weight loss will be a home made exhaust that ends under the motor- and will be fruity.

Damn you, Red Lightspeed!

 

I happen to have a Brick engine sitting in the back of my shed, complete with exhaust and computer.... I'll not take an axe to the viffer, but the thought of a pure cafe-racer built using the Brick.... but I'd try for the Guzzi Le Mans Mk.III look.

Funny though, If you lengthen the sidestand to sit the bike more upright, the sidestand springs are not strong enough to hold it up tightly, Just one of life's little problems
