now, this isn't Racefit's fault, they had a customer come in and ASK for it to be like this!!!!!

BUT, at least they had a customer with a bit more taste who opted for a much louder alternative.

Meh. It's not exactly a good looking bike in the first place.

People smoother their bikes in gaudy "look at me" tat all the time....there's still no getting away from that pink frame I guess.

At least he hasn't stuck go-faster Carbon Fibre all over it Razz

.

I actually thought the recent R6s looked similar to the above... when they first showed 'spy' shots I presumed it'd been designed for an underseat and they just didn't have it on for testing.

The R1 (especially in white with the pink frame) is a beautiful bike as far back as the footpegs. I think the designers just ran out of steam once they'd got that far. I'd still have one though, if anyone's willing to donate to the "Jon needs 11k for an R1 fund" (regd charity #987654321)

(just not *that* one)

FWIW, I think the cans would work were it not for those fugly brackets. No worse than the stock ones anyway.

I actually really like that, but I hate underseat exhausts!

Is there another one on the other side?

I was considering a new R1 before I got my new CBR1000RR, but the exhausts really put me off, I think that looks awesome!

Do you have any pictures from the back?

You can see from the pic there is not another one. Way to go on making the bike look worse. Thumbs Up
