In all its Factory Twin Pipe Glory and I don't want some newbie to say.... "Didn't Honda do that first!" Way cool! http://www.motorcycledaily.com/09october08_2009husqvarnasm450r.htm Norman
Looks great! Did not see anything about twin pipes though, I missed it. This is a bit worrisome Hopefully that is not the case.
it should come with a few spare rear fenders as I think I would be lopping that out like a mad man. - I'm not a fan of the droopy front fender thing the KTM. BMW and new CRF sport, looks goofy IMHO.
Motorcycle News is a notorious rumor-monger that rarely lets fact-checked jounalism get in the way of sensational op-ed style reportage. I wouldn't put too much stock in that poo....it is diametrically opposed to everything I personally know BMW intended with its acqusition of the brand. Nor does it square with how they've run it since; NB. the ONLY German exec sent to Italy has been the supply-chain whiz who has been sorting out the [oh-so-typical] Italian logistics mess.
The pipes split right after the front heat shield. Looks sweet. Wish mine had that setup. Also looks like a new headlight and signals. Wonder if they addressed the poor lighting of the previous models.
