Since when did the nsr have low down power?? Rolling Eyes

And yes, the hornet 250 is very expensive - 2k plus. It is nice though, although youd be better off waiting till you can afford the 600's insurance.

the new hornet has a catalytic converter... Confused


...which is built into the silencer...?...does that cause problems with race cans? Confused


Hi

It is at the end of the 4~1 section, before the silencer

A cat needs to be as close to the head as possible so it warms up quickly and hot enough

All the best

Bah! Razz knew someone would pick me up on that Confused Well it does have some kind of acceleration through the rev range doesn't it. When the hole was there it took an age for the needle to climb up the tacho...plus it wouldnt rev past 10K. No good at all. Nice and loud though Very Happy

I was actually speaking from experience - my old housemate has one, with an actual micron can. And it does sound a lot nicer.
In fact, with the micron on it sounded nicer than joe camels old zx7 with its art can.
