The RG is a strange looking bike, the exhausts almost look like machine guns Laughing

Not being able to race because they vroom vroom too loud is just stupid, I take it you get offered a refund if the bikes dont comply with the regs?

What's that flexi-hose clipped onto the exhaust of the Norton? Some sort of pressure equalisation thingamajig? Confused

Edit: or rather, some sort of basic EGR? (exhaust gas recirculation - the water in the exhaust gas reduces the combustion temperature as it absorbs a lot of heat, letting you run hotter than before).

I think it was called an Extractor exhaust or something . Think it gave them a shit load more horsepower .

Love these old racebikes though ,RG looks great in the old Heron colours . Bet it sounds amazing when given a bit welly .!
