Hotbodies slip ons

[Homer]

Have had the hotbodies for about 25k km now will get same made outs brass or some thing to have a better finish
saw a busa 14 model running standard pipes on the putty last weekend was pathetic like a sewing machine lol

With the std exhaust all I could hear was the intake induction noise!

When I got my '09 in November it still had the stock cans. I was given two options; get the bike and put up with it or stay on the CBR250R....... We had only gone in so my lady could see what one looked like up close. She's great like that. She also sews, so maybe it was the exhaust note she identified with :) who cares, I had a green light.

The standard ones suddenly became entirely acceptable. Happy to live with them rather than without the bike. While people who openly like them still surprise me a little, I doubt that at my riding level there is anything other than a visual benefit in any modifications I make. Lighter, more power, faster........means nothing when the gap between your capabilities and the bikes limits would include meals and a movie to travel between.

The entire bike is a visual assault, the product of excess. I've had friends walk around it several times with a painful look on their face before they suddenly stop and smile and say "wow, it really looks amazing from this angle".

There is part of me that likes how it is so confronting.

I would expect that every one of you would still be riding a Hayabusa even if there were no aftermarket options. Am I wrong?

........all that said, I've got an exhaust short list ready.........just in case - and I can always keep the standards around for anchors. Now, all I need to do is wait for everyone to agree on what is the best, coz my knowledge as it currently stands would fit on a beer coaster. That should give me some breathing space.
