Cool share but not my style though.

That exhaust coming out the seat while cool for show, would totally suck in real life. You would stink like exhaust in real a bad way, not to mention accidentally burning yourself. I'm not a fan of the exhaust running along side the engine like the v-twins either.

Exhaust coming out of the seat? You have better eyes than me, I can't see that.

Go read the site, the story is pretty interesting. I just saw it in Motorcyclist Magazine (or maybe Cycle World) as it won some kind of honors at Carmel.

Just a hint, it was designed as an engineering exercise, to attract attention to his company. I'd say it is very successful.

Edit:

Ah, I see, you're not talking about the pic I posted, you're talking about a bike on the site.
