Hi guys Just to say thanks for all the help over the last month or so with all my questions, I used all the info to buy this beauty RR8 8000 miles, it was on for £5800 but managed to knock him down to £5300, don't like the Two Bro's tuning box or exhaust but hopefully I'll get this changed to a akrapovic full carbon exhaust. Bike is simply immaculate, guy used to polish it after every ride and kept in in a garage for most of its life, never out in the rain. That's the sort of previous owner I like
Black does look good, Not too keen on the low mounted exhausts on the blade, reminds me of another side stand, Get yourself a racefit or Austin racing.
Thanks guys, still getting used to the bike, sooo agile but the top end really feels like it's lacking but I haven't ridden any others so hard to tell if it's just the way these engines are or if the speed is being converted into the retarded sound of the two Bro's exhaust I practically need ear plugs!!! I wanted to go with the akrapovic full carbon or the yoshimura r-77 full carbon...any idea which one of these is the quietest ? Or best performance ? Hopefully one does both
Well done Lucky13~i watched your earlier posts with interest-good on you for sticking with your first wish~just need the sun now
Looks good, yes ,can looks lumpy,afterthought, as for top end,,it should pull your arms off as it goes up top,,mine is identical to yours ,standard , it flies man.
I've had both on the blade. IMO. The Akrapovic is slightly quieter than the Yoshi R77 and is better built. They both make similar power. I prefer the look of the Akrapovic over the Yoshi R77 personally.
I thought the 09 pulled well from 5k and has a stunning top end from 10k and over, swap the exhaust and put on a PCV to ensure its fueled correctly, but then I don't know what you're used to perhaps I'm easily pleased.
