Andy, I know what you're saying, but would I be labelled a raving homosexual if I said I prefered the triangular Yoshi ones?! Actually, there's a set of those Akro ones on ebay for £600.
Not at all, can't really go wrong with Akrapovic, Yoshi, Graves or Termignoni's for the R1.
Here's mine, it's changed a little from the picture now though:

Yoshi's are usually a Suzuki thing, but I do like the triangular cans cloud9

Hmmm, they do look good. I was told that putting those on is the easiest choice...no re-map etc. Does that sound right?

It won't need a re-map with only a set of cans, maybe with a full system & filter a power commander would be worth it.

Ah, a fellow Essex man. Well, the mrs suggested that the GSXR looked a little....plastic-y??!! Plus I just couldn't learn to like the cans on them....even the arrow ones.

Weather is looking ste for a while, not that I'll have much time to ride in due course. Are you still riding?
Fraid so but yep still getting a few in , yesterday was alright, roads good with enough grip so managed a couple or three hours pratting about. Can't remember what it's like to ride in anything above 5 degrees, probably quite nice though.
Enjoy the bike but where are the pics?

Got the R1!
The one I was going to see that sold this morning, was simply stunning. Makes mine look rather plain, as it's bog standard. Now on the look out for cans, carbon, and black things!

Cheers for all the advice gents (and Mitz!).

Right.....what cans??!!
Excellent choice if I may be so bold too say.
