As it already has the radiator shrouds and the zs engine shares common mounts , exhaust exit angle and carb mounts, the future could easily be next week eh. Just my opinion but I have never seen the need for a single cylinder engine to have two mufflers.
One is just as quiet and at least half as heavy, even less if its made of carbon which is a bit dearer but a good place to spend money as "weight on the ends" is just as bad on bikes as it is on yachts.
The twin muffler thing started because the factory bikes used carbon cans and titanium fittings as you would if a huge factory was paying the bill and expecting the best bike possible.
Then of course the latest and greatest has to be transferred to the customer bikes. On really high speed bikes it's a drag reduction sure, but on bikes with 20-30 hp weight is the over riding factor.
Looking at this bike I see a lot of potential as a touring bike in asia and I think the rental guys will snap it up. It always seemed the cooler looking bikes went out first in Laos and Thailand. The backpackers are a bunch of cheap bastards but they want those cool selfie stick pics on facebook.
Sorry to ramble on a bit, sitting at home with no telly.
