Coming home from work today I saw a bike that was a little different... the dual exhaust was on the very bottom of the bike and it was little too. It looked to be about the size of a 250-500. Anybody know what it could have been? Someone's custom creation or something European maybe??

 

Maybe an old ZX6-E?

 

Cagiva makes a 125 and 250 that might have been it

 

Only reason why I found it so intriguing was that at first, I didn't see the exhaust - not off to either side, not under the tail either... had to wait until I got up next to it to see it.

Checked out what I could for pictures of Cagiva models - styling looks similar but I couldn't find the bike exactly. Probably it though.

 

most of the buells have bottom exhuast. The stock can is big, ugly, and heavy. Aftermarket pipes would probably still hang out under the bike. They do it to keep the weight and mass centralized and down low. It creates a lower center of gravity which equates to better handling. They still can't compete with most imports though....

 

that's what we want right thurrrrrrrrr.

 

I'd actually like to take one for a ride. The rags claim they handle pretty damn good, but from what i hear the motor is a weak. They are supposed to corner like they are on rails. Little on the heavy side though.

 

had one..they do handle Very nice...wheelie nice and easy 2 for that matter....but WOW is that motor weak....it has trouble keepin up with old school 600's

 

one of my instructors at the track day I went to raced a buell.... it was a little slow in the straights, but mant it was AWESOME in the corners...

It all comes down to the rider

 

S&S cycle+weak motor= strong motor

 

its still an air compressor no matter how you cut it...= JUNK!!!!!!!!!!
