The only way they can get enough volume into the mufflers to meet the noise regs. They could go under the seat, but that would put the weight up high..

Both the old pipes and this new version are mighty ugly...they've done it to the Z750 thi year too.

With any luck it will push the value of our classics up.

Well, part from the muffler, I quite like the look of both the new Z1000 and the Z750. And I ride a Yamaha. What does all this mean?

And have any Kawasaki dealers got GTR1400 demos in yet? The pricing is pretty sharp. Shame about the colour choice...

Visually it makes the bike look unbalanced...when you first look at the pic you dont notice the bike it's that thing!

I could chrome a road cone and put in on my bike and take off the fairings again lol!

Hmm *mind ticking over*

What a crazy thought - a road cone has a much better shape....

That's a fantastic looking bike, but the cans? Just say no.

That tank is getting quite a peak on it eh.

Exactly Glen.

Just like most GS1200SS owners did, and a number of K7 GSXR1000 owners will do too.

Get used to it guys. It's the new Euro regs. Mufflers are getting bigger.

Let's hope they don't bring in a law that says "no original muffler, no WOF"

Great looking bike IMO. Orange is the best colour. With a detuned ZX10 motor in the thou it has the capability to change a cheeky grin into a nervous laugh.
Pipes will cause some debate but suit the sharpness of the body panels. HOWEVER - they sound naff and should be de-baffled.

Better looking than the old model I reckon. The old 4 can system looked tacky, this new one aint much better. Muzzy anyone?
