Is the third pipe aesthetic or is there a reason there are three pipes instead of two?

It's a three cylinder bike.

I know it is a 3 cylinder...my question is more why it would have the offshoot single pipe low and the others high and the reasoning behind it ....

GPR (and competition werkes) also makes a 2-outlet slip-on with only the high pipes. I'm not sure there's room for a third silencer up top without going for some triangular type arrangement and there would have to be some sort of adapter to hang 3 on because of the stock mount. Plus those fat little things are heavy, so maybe 3 would do bad things to the center of gravity. Don't know for sure, just thinking off the top of my head.

I was thinking the same thing.  If MV can tuck four pipes up high, wonder why these guys didn't.

Sweet bike!

I don't see any reason for them not to be able to put 1,2,3,4 ... 11 pipes under the tail. I'll speculate that the reason for 2 up and 1 down is to balance the power/torque output. Wide flowing pipes increase the power but move both up the rev range, narrow pipes increase low end torque but limit power...


Or maybe they just had too much grappa! laughingdp

Blah blah blah. The real reason it's like that is because it's more gooderer.   waytogo

There actually is a company that makes a tri-outlet slip on system with each pipe under the seat, but like I said earlier this one's more gooderer.

I think it looks more awesomer with the pipe arrangement as it is.  There's something cool about a slightly wacky, assymetrical pipe setup.

Agreed - I think it's just for the looks. Smart!

Carried a watermelon, 3 lbs of onions, 3 red peppers, 2 boxes of ziplocs, and pound of bacon in my backpack on the monster. Holy crap that can give you a back ache!

Had my iPhone professionally bricked. Massimo and I tried to do it, but it took someone with experience. Now for the attempted replacement!

The thing I like about most non-Apple phones is that they have a slot for a memory card. Mine came with a 2GB one that I upgraded to 8.
