The first bike i saw with the exhaust on the opposite side from the UK was the Bandit 6 i referred to when posting last May about my trip around europe. Side stand on right, exhaust on left. Saw a few others like that too.. so i presumed it was for the reasons i have said. Ill try find pics. |
This matter is discussed in detail at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driving..._left_or_right Apparently, the fact that most countries drive on the right is due to Napoleon being left-handed. Driving on the left is more natural because right-handed people tend to mount a horse or a bicycle from the left side (thus, staying on the pavement). |
Prof...So where did old Napoleon have his exhaust fitted then? :wink: :P
*I can just picture GYKD frantically surfing the web trying ti find a suitable pic!* :P :P |
There's a few UK bikes with the cans on the left... I can only think of wee 400cc ones offhand though, which are mainly imports.

GS1200?

Calling GYKD, please call off your search for motorcycle picture. It's not that important! :P :P |

only thing i think i can remember being different on bikes was the throttle on the left bar on the cali highway patrol bikes(remember chips? :lol: ) so that the officers could use their guns while on the move
be a bit stuffed if you came over a crest to find a big tailback while in a pursuit with gun drawn :lol: |
