I dunno man. There's nothing like seeing six shiny siver pipes dropping out of the front of your engine.

Just plain ugly...(the suzuki)
Maybe it's nicer looking in person.
Thanks for the CBX pic though.

Yeah, no $#!7!! Six carbs with like a jillion different syncing procedures. You have to sync the outside cylinders, then the inner two, then the right two, then the left two, etc..., or something like that. It's insane. Also, to get them out you've gotta drop the engine. Do you know how hard it is to drop a 1087cc inline-six-cylinder engine??

use to ride with one, had 6-2 with suppertraps, sounded narly. one heavy bike and the guy riding had this thing about hitting the lip of the tunnel at about 35 and powering the front wheel up, and holding it all the way down. seeing that beast in the air in your rear view is frightening

Yeah, my father's has 6 into 2 Kerker pipes and they sound WONDERFUL. The thing is an absolute porker too. Huuuge bike, especially compared to my GS and his FZ1. It's comparable in size to his ST1100, except heavier. It uses a 130/90 rear tire on it, too :lol:!

I dunno what kind of asses you are checking out, but from the ones I've seen.......
...I'd say that the average ass is much more appealing 8)
