What exactly makes it amazing? Looks like a old two stoke engine in a 2013 frame. Not impressed, was hoping for a DI bike.

Slightly harsh.

I wouldn't mind it in my garage.

I apologize if my other post seemed harsh, but I was sure hoping the owner would come back and explain what is different about those bike from the many other AF two stroke conversions. From what I have read the AF conversions are really not that great because the rigidity of the frame was designed for the characteristics of the four stroke engine. The bike looks good, I was just hoping maybe there was something that we couldn't see in the picture that makes this bike "amazing". Thats all.

Yes, I noticed that right away. I wonder if it works properly? 2-strokes are all about the exhaust and that twin pipe might mess things up.

I did.

The question is: Why? BTW those aren't twin silencers but twin mufflers. Adding weight is never a good idea especially when it there is no benefit. If they were twin silencers I'd be interested in seeing comparison dyno results and sound tests but as it is can't see the point.

Why do people call them AF when they aren't by Service Honda?

The joke, most of you have missed it.

The point is that this is another crap MPS bike. Of course it doesn't need two silencers, they do that for some unknown reason to make it look like a 450. I guarantee you that only one of those is hooked up.

Twin four stroke mufflers hooked up to a two stroke expansion chamber?

Yeah that's not exactly going to add performance.

Smart money says that those mufflers ain't hooked up to anything.

Let's see a video of it in action, otherwise it's just as good as a photo shopped version.

Looks photoshopped to me. That far muffler looks out of proportion if you ask me.

Yeah, I was thinking that one too Smile . But would anyone put a road bike engine in a racing frame? The TDM 250 twin was a cool bike in it's day though.
