That is honking. The 3 headlights are to try and hide the fact that he's using the faired model clocks I reckon, they're too wide for a naked. But it's got some nice ideas... If that terrible front seat was fixed and the exhaust pipes reshaped then the rear would be ace. (I'd bet money it's down on power from standard though)

I think Haggis is right on the MOT fail btw... If memory serves, if you've got a pillion seat you have to have pillion pegs, but if you have no pillion seat then anything goes.

Isn't there a problem with that exhaust system, in that the reason the rear cylinder has the pipework is to make the pipes the same length ???

I guess if the pipe work is a pure 1-1 x2 then that's not so much of a problem...

Thumbs down Re: Interesting eBay SV650

I like the exhausts, but the biggest crime has got to be those clocks? The front end looks like he got a buy 2 get 1 free on the lights and was too tight to not use the free one! As for the mot failur eon the seat couldn't you argue that it was for decoraiton and not a seat? haha.
