The high exhaust is nearly £600 from the UK distributor. I'm hoping to flog the Akrapovic to fund it. That Akrapovic retails at £900..Madness.

Imagine if you will.

An exhaust company (Delkevic perhaps )who had previously developed an exhaust for lets say a VStrom 650 that you supplied, what would the likelihood of them doing a high level system for your new bike?

It has to be worth a poorly worded Email. :smirk:

They're a bit expensive to take off road ...  :stirpot:

This one still has the Welsh mud attached and the rider is down to one arm ...

I picked it up today and put a quick 100 miles on it. Who knew that Swansea could be 100 miles from my house  :auto-dirtbike:

I have booked the 600 mile service for next Friday so I am considering a jaunt to the NEC on Sunday/Monday. It's been a few years since I last said it was shit and that I wouldn't go again  :smirk:
