Scorpion Exhausts have just done some serious development work on a brand new Z1000 and want your opinion.

We have 2 potential offerings for the bike, which do you guys think looks the best?

Conical is more in keeping with the bike IMO.

I'm a graphic / web designer and although I know fuck all about engines / mechanics, I love anything to do with design. Purely from a design perspective, the conical exhaust compliments the design of the bike far better than the straight.

I would say straight given the choice but im biased having just bought one on friday... that said I don't think either suit the Z1000.

slightly off topic are we getting a discount for our partaking in market research or is this veiled Spam ?

Z1000s should have 4 end cans, two on each side.

(I know it's the older model but it still applies)

This definately looks better than the new scorpion cans.
