I agree that first bike in the row of eye candy has to be the strangest expansion chamber layout of the cones and degree of taper I have ever seen. I have made over 200 hand rolled cone expansion chambers since the late 70s for 2 stroke bikes and race quads. For lots of engine swaps and many vintage restoration pipes I guess you could say as old as I'm getting.
The one in the picture for street homolagation has a very long head pipe before the conical shape develops. It looks more like some of the trials 2 stroke designs. This long headpipe would cause very quick response and snappy performance. Down Low. This is the 125 model correct? Needless to say the race pipe looks much more conventional and ready for a good pipe guard also. Very vunerable to damage in the field of battle.
Great to see the 2 strokes still being done though and still making a comeback now from what, about 4 or 5 manufactures in Europe. To bad it's still carbureted. I'm not really saying it's a bad thing but the fuel injection on the production 2 strokes is only a year or so away I imagine.
Not much room there on the chassis to do much of anything with the radiators and all. I believe a better design could be done with a bit of work easily. Just to tuck it in much better and still have the ultimate profile and layout. A few more bends could easily be done and still have the ultimate shape tighter to the chassis. The final stinger length and diameter is very important if you're factoring in the silencer core as part of that overall stinger length, which is just as important. Pack the silencer as hard and solid as you can and the engine and pipe barely knows its on there. It can affect tuning drastically if too long.
I really like the looks of these bikes and can't wait until they are over here in the US with a headlight and license plates. If they ever do that. I'll be buying one for sure. It'll be the largest model 4 stroke version though. I don't plan on riding town to town unless it's down the US Border Road to the Border Patrols next stations AOR. I'm not looking for a true dual sport. It has to be a true Enduro. No turn signals needed where I live.
I'm leaning towards getting one of the Husqvarna's now before the KTMs. Thats if they ever make to the states and they are plateable.
