Love it OP.

Do they really pop & bang with the standard exhaust on overun? I think they've even managed to make the standard exhaust good looking compared to the recent monstrosities that have been sprung out recently.

thumbup definitely. Mine would be a black one.

Yes it does, and quite loud. I've always gone for akrapovic systems on my bikes but will NOT be changing this one !!!!

You got the best colours - saw them all at the MCN Excel show. They had the motorsport coloured one up on the stage and it looked awesome.

Reminds me of Donald Duck when he got pissed off, thats a good thing in my book lol.

Also I'm led to believe the cat is in the enormous end can. Is that true?

Wow,lots of valid comments above. Personally, this is my 3rd S1k and by far the best one I have ridden. I have only managed a couple of hundred miles on it so far but I can tell you it is an amazing piece of machinery. can't wait to get the 1st service out of the way as it limited to 9k rpm until then.I consider myself a fair rider and do participate in a good few track days every year, (this bike is going to portimao in April for 4 days) I'm lucky enough to have a ducati diavel and a repsol fireblade to play with.
I know this bike is not to everyone's taste, but I happen to think it is one of the best sports bikes out there right now.
Regardless of personal opinions (we all have them), the new bike feeling is great, and the S1kRR is 'one of the best' right now. Wish you many happy s'miles with her!
