I used to love bikes. All my friends used to have them at school, haven't been on one in years though!
I know the feeling. I have lost touch with most of my school friends as well.

Good. The Power Commander should sort out the snatchy standard fuel injection, but why the newed for two pipes - purely cosmetic?

t's a four-valve head – each exhaust port has its own pipe – obvious really!  whistle:

The sound is awesome – no restrictions here on how loud your 'bike can be... as you can see from the tiny numberplate there are no ridiculous rules there either...  cloud9:

I am aware of that, nincompoop! A GSXR750 has 8 exhaust ports, but it doesn't have 8 exhaust pipes! Why not a 2 into 1 system? There would be a weight saving, although I grant it might not look as aesthetically pleasing. Do you wear a crash helmet?

Nincompoop! How very dare you?  evil:

The twin exhausts look (IMHO) absolutely stunning… so perhaps it is just aesthetics. I don’t really care. It sounds like a ‘real’ bike, loud and mechanical – not like a sewing machine…

Always wear a helmet thanks.

Snoopy beat me to it, I was trying to reel you in  lol:

And, I'll have you know, my GSXR has an Akrapovic and in no way sounds like a sewing machine, especially not at 14,000 rpm! Sadly, Mrs TMR's GSXR has the standard pipe on it and that does sound somewhat muted.
