Nice, but the exhausts are wide - they should all be fastened on the inside of the rear hanger. Better cornering clearance then too.
Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Your right but this looks cool. Don't think I'm going to be dragging pegs on these skinny tires.

I managed it on the GT550 last Sunday.
Long time since I did that - I'd forgotten what it sounded like and gave myself a surprise.
I thought I'd more sense!!

I tried, but I can't....it does not "look cool". Also, you obviously don't understand tire contact patch science or you would know that tire width has NOTHING to do with cornering.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Too many bikes, too much time, ENOUGH SPACE, FINALLY! Never enough money.........

It's the angle of the dangle caused by cornering about 5mph too fast when not fully engaging brain.
