Seriously, couldn’t they just extend the tube a bit so it overhangs the exhaust pipe???

    What they actually probably saved was needing to design a whole separate engine case for each bike in their lineup to match all their exhaust configurations.

    The idea of having a little pipe protruding out is a different kind of bad design. Things that poke out from engine cases tend to snag or get punched in during a crash, turning what would be some scrapes on the block into a completely totaled engine.
