theres no such thing as a learner legal exhaust.

there are road legal ones that conform to noise regulations and BS standard

and Race/not for road use ones which don't and can fail an mot (depending on the tester), you can also be given Vehicle defect rectification notice and ordered to change it and get it re mot'd and possibly fined for using it on the road if you are stopped by the police.

using either type of exhaust on the road has absolutly nothing to do with your cbt/ driving license

It won't make that much of a difference to power. 1 bhp tops. I reckon your R125 will put out around 11bhp at the wheel, so you're safe.

A quick google shows 12bhp at the wheel, and a can gives you a 0.5bhp increase.

Don't let it go to your head. Razz

Patch the existing one, or buy a used one from eBay.

If you mean some shiny £200 pimp system, why?

Noise? Drill some holes in the standard can, put screws or rivets in for the MOT.

Power? You're already at the limit (at the crank) and any performance gain will be minimal, or imaginary.

Looks? The L plates counteract anything you can do to pimp the bike.

Are you honestly going to burn money that you should be spending on passing your test and getting on the bike that you really want?

Have you got proper bike gear from head to toe? An Almax chain, immobiliser and alarmed disk lock? Got your insurance paid up for the year? Money left over to fix any problems that reveal themselves?

You're buying bling for a brassy slapper who's all teasing, make up and no go.
