Awesome choice. Get that giant can off though. Be good for another 10mph when you loose that wind drag

Nice bike Tefal ! I really wan't a sports bike but i've never sat on one so I'm not sure as to how it would feel. Being a short fella I don't think it would affect me as much as a taller bloke.

Tefal · 23 Aug 2013 at 22:11

the cbr felt like you were sat in it nice and solid, this feels like your perched on top of it >.<

still done 140 miles on it today and am now very comfortable on it, don't feel like i'm standing on top of a missile anymore

it's done more miles today than it has in it's past year

I think mine before Power Commander was putting out 97bhp, after remap 108 bhp!!

nice how do you find the stomp grips? also next paycheck is dedicated to a nice exhaust. I pefer the tiny stubby ones that barly come out the side. mate prefers a long pipe and a tiny carbon gp can.

need ocuk votes

mates cbr 6 rr has this akrapovic one o nit and it sounds gorgeous, was pulling close as possible at junctions to get a good listen

Stomp grips are great on the r6, there big so your knee always makes contact with them!

I had a stubby Blu flame can on mine, quite small with a bark at the end

I would get an akrapovic on there though!

i want a little one like th 06 has

kidloco · 24 Aug 2013 at 10:37

Yeah. If you have budget then Akro all the way. Sound great without being offensively loud. Also one of the few cans to give actual power gains.

Fitted clear stomp grips to mine a month ago. First time I've used them on a bike and now I'm a convert.

how do you feel about those swing arm hinge sliders you've got o nskynet? not sure i fancy risking putting lots of stress onto the swing arm bolt in a crash.

I think if you crash and they take enough of an impact to damage the swing arm you've got bigger problems

Nice choice of bike, pretty good price for the year/mileage too!

It won't harm the swinging arm as its loaded into the frame also, will take a good wack to harm that bike IMO.

I would recommend upper bungs as well but does involve drilling a bit of fairing out on one side if you get R&G's.

^^^don't you bash your shins on them?

Skynet-T800 · 24 Aug 2013 at 21:54

Close but there ok! but close

Tefal · 24 Aug 2013 at 22:05

wasn't thinking of it damaging the swing arm but damaging the /bending the bolt/bearings that holds it on. as thats what it's attached to.
