A colour pic would be good - the exhausts are unusual, not your normal run of the mill Honda/MV/Gilera etc.

Bit of a cop-out, that pic was on a poster which used to be on my wall
Paso was one of my heroes, saw him at the Ulster on the Benelli, and the yowl of that thing screaming up Budore towards Wheelers would make the hairs stand on the back of yer neck 
Mind you, there were some other tasty sounding machines at the Prix at that time. My all time faves were the 500 cc works Jawa twins, Franta Stasny and some other Czech boy knocking seven bells out of each other down through the Quarries. And Bryans and Taveri on 125 cc Honda 5's sounded amazing. You can hear some of 'em here.
Oh, and Hailwood on the 250 6, and, and.........
Pass me another incontinence pad, this one's full up...........
