If you work on it, you can track stand close enough that you can actually just leech right onto the pipe (if you also have the buses with the elevated tailpipes) and breath deep.
It's what I expect on my rides and it only makes it worthwhile. When I fail to get my inhales of exhaust... I just get home, disrobe and lay in the middle of the floor in the fetal position. I usually mumble and drool at the same time.
