What did you do to your bike today?

That EVO 6 system is the ultimate gen2 system, how much louder is it than your previous cans? If my Tuono behaves itself next year I'd love to pick up one of these. Yours looks brank new as there's no titanium blueing on the link pipes, how much and where from? :D

It's pretty loud compared to the stock headers & Scorpion cans I had previously, went to get an MOT after picking the bike up and it's set off another bikes alarm when started up :D

I got them from the rsvr.net forums, a guy was selling them as he was splitting his track bike. I paid £800 for the whole system and then i think another £150 to ceramic coat the headers. Yes there in great condition a small gravel rash mark on the left link pipe but other than that there pretty mint.

Going to be taking the bike down to Belgium with OH on the back to see the F1, so I've added panniers and a tank bag to help with luggage. Tank bag has a window/pocket on top for phone for satnav, also added 2 USB ports under the seat to keep it charged.

And added auxiliary lights.

6k miles service done on the Aprilia today. Couple of warranty items to sort too, leaking brake reservoir cap and DRL/Main beam lamp condensation.

Almost finished off the rear M7RR at 3.5k miles, might stretch another 500 miles out of it with less spirited riding to work :)

:eek: I'm on 1000 miles on my M7RR on the VFR already, the rear barely has any wear at all.
 
Mine didn't really show any wear until it hit 3k miles, last 500 it's dropped off dramatically. Front is hardly worn, so will get another rear to even them up.

Those 3k miles were done on a trip to Barcelona a few month ago on twisty stuff mainly, at one point the edges were wearing quicker than the rest of the tyre.

I wouldn't use them again for touring, I'd go for the Roadtec 01 or PR4 next time.
 
Put a set of BT021's and a rear wheel bearing today.. had no choice on the tyres as the front had a piece of metal that almost got through the canvas and the rear was square like a car tyre. £258 for the BT's and a bearing as a last min dash. Overpaid by about £40 me thinks...

I hope you only ride in the dry, those tyres are absolutely rubbish otherwise and to be fair aren't even great in the dry.
 
BT's are death traps, had them on my SV for 3 weeks... Once I had Angel GT's on, it felt like you stuck the bike with glue to the road.
