Watch the video - ol' mate gives it a handful & the silencer falls off!

Note to self - I need to ride one of these bikes again one day to see if they are as scary as I remember as a 15 yr old..

Same here, watched it twice, easy to miss that.

I won't bag anyone's custom build, that's not really fair.
Although the choice of components wouldn't be my first choice either.

I recall Yamaha never got the 490 right after the 465 engine. I recall trying to start these monsters took some guts. I never managed to both hurt myself or start the bitch of a thing.

The old man liked the idea of a motorized wheelbarrow , he used my old ct125 for propulsion , ct70 wheels , used to do awesome line lockers in 3rd , whiskey throttle in 4th and you were screwed
