If they're anything like the previous ones, they're actually quite light. The Busa ones weight a fucking tonne though. They have cats in 'em.

Awesum! Goodonyer! :first:

And the manufacturer has very strict noise regs to meet, so I guess figuring the muffler will go anyway why go to too much trouble over it?

They put a lot of effort in to the stockers, and they work pretty well.

Well, no-one can argue with the performance out of the box, for sure! :apumpin:

Maybe if they did make them more styley though?

Saw a black example today at lunchtime at Action Suzuki in Hawera.
Nice bike! The stock muffler actually looks okay in the flesh. I'd leave it on.

It looks like HONDA put a lot of work into the exhaust. Strange of Suzuki to let them do that....

Grats on the new bike - is it run-in yet :P

Think the muffler is just longer than they were and it un bolts right up by the belly pan. Our new one should be here tomorrow...I'll av a look see.

...waiting with baited interest did it ride any different was the suspension much set up the same or softer? your L1 had a very stiff set up iv got the 09 (same) and it needed alot of changes to soften it up for the road and its mint now :yes:but standard was way too track focused
