i dont know, i occasionally read some threads on 1000rr.net, and it seems to draw some squidlies. The only reason i joined that forum was to buy my exhaust from a member over there. Seems to be a much younger crowd at least the conversations go that way.

 

I dont mind the side exhaust. a good after market deal can deal with that. maybe a taylor made one that comes out of the fairing like on the Zuks. The thing I hate is the nose. Just like dude said on the video, looks like someone beat it in the face. Another thing i wish they would have done was keep the tail section the size it was and use it for trunk space now that the exhaust is side mount.
