Contrary to popular opinion on here I actually like the look of the new 17 bike in Motorsport colours. I think it looks awesome and I don't even mind the Euro 4 exhaust as am sure in time I would change it but its not a biggie. I probably had one of the last 16 models reserved but cancelled last month, pleased I did and will now wait for March 17!
If you cancelled in Sept thanks as I've got a lighter bike with all the extras & have put 2k miles on it since
Can't stand the grey and the new white colour options though :/
Seems the BM is still the bench mark for litre bikes even though it's two years old.
5hp increase on the XR despite Euro 4 is positive.

Haha awesome work! Anything to help dude!
Don't forget ABS Pro is now confirmed as standard too, finally clearing that up.
I like the Black/Grey. Will go for it if I change.

Was told by 2 dealers that people who buy pipes for there new Euro 4 bikes will not have the option of removing the baffle..... it will be welded in and they say akro are already doing this !!! Glad I've got the 2016... just saying
I don't understand that statement, what do you mean?
How do Euro4 regs affect what people will fit aftermarket?

Haven't a clue myself... was in a local dealer the other day looking to buy a new pipe for my 16 and the salesman said if you now buy a akro you won't be able to remove the baffle..... he said it's something to do with the new emissions!
Right...I was going to reuse the one I have anyway...I can get the header turned down to mate with the revised head. (Difference from Gen2 to Gen3)
Not sure what truth there is in it but they said they've just sold a akro full system to a customer for a ktm and he's ruined the pipe trying to remove the baffle.... they said they spoke to akro and that's the new law...
I don't know - was speaking to Soof yesterday about it, he'll confirm I can't decide what to do lol. My plan was to get 2 good years with my modified '12 and then swap come September '17 to something new to me...I should stick to that plan really and get some use out of the one I have.
No such thing as can't lol

2017 s1000rr
Just left the NEC.... looked at the new 2017 S1000RR as was considering an upgrade , disappointment is an understatement, plastic panels by the tank that look like they come from Halfords , what can only be described as archaic steel work for the servo on the rear shock, colours that were dreary .... gonna hang on to my 1st gen a little longer I think .... what do you guys think ??
