Husqvarna 500cc V-twin classic racer

1930's racing bike. The original stuff, no replica.
Back in the days it was raced using megaphones, but in this clip the magaphones are converted into mufflers using inserts. Still, a lovely sound of a classic bike with the classical tuning of the 1930's: Early opening of the exhaust valves, and huge vave overlap.

Why the different lengths of the exhausts? No way! They are identical in length, but the "longer" exhaust is due to the position of the second cylinder...

Engine power is approx 35 bhp, and top spead is close to 160 km/hr.
