@Walkabout - wow! So if I'm understanding you correctly, the exhaust gases leave the engine, go through the cat in the LHS exhaust before coming out the RHS exhaust? And the LHS exhaust has that look just for show. That's a new learning!
@electric_monk - It was an 8 year old bike. The front wheel looked that age, looking used, with some rust patches on it. The rear looked like it had just rolled off a production line. The final bit that smelled was the tax disc was two years out of date, so it had probably sat unloved somewhere for that time.
Looks like I made the right call - too many questions marks raised. Thanks all.
