that is clever.   perhaps we should just divert exhaust gases out of a dummy port and have an empty pipe for the sniffers to go in... bazinga.


like the charcoal canisters and flapper valves, i suspect this is a system that will be removed/disabled by many owners & racers.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

i like that the drive changes for each head are on opposite sides but it blows my mind that they are right on the crank

Where else would they go?

What purpose does the secondary air system have?

Chains on opposite sides help keep the cylinder heads symmetric. As for the chain location it could run off a secondary gear off the crank, as with the KTM twin:

Any reason for not doing so is probably due to limiting engine weight and inertia.

Emissions.

And silly backfiring, especially in tunnels! Evil


Maybe silly, but my biggest ah-ha! moment was when I realized what the big round thing between the cylinder heads was! laughingdp

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Cut me some slack. It's almost 7pm on a Friday, my wife's birthday, and I'm still at work.

I was mainly asking if you really thought it sounded that good.   Cheesy

All the Ducati's made the 1290SDR possible!

Actually, any of the current, or past, twins with non stock cans sound better IMO. Stock exhaust doesn't make the heart go pitter-patter.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.
