Nice one OCD looking good, love the can as well, tail tidy fitted on mine today, just waiting for crash bungs etc, Wasn’t gonna change cans but it’s quite quiet, and the baffles are welded in, luckily Austin have just released some cans so I’ll probs get one of those.
Couldnt make this up but it must be an MT10 thing

Both my lot (Toxicnerve knows them) have done a deal on these RS's and sold theirs. I know one of them has straight away said he's getting a more stubby SC exhaust

Sunday went out for a little mooch to pass some time whilst it was dry and ended up in the lakes

Go low SC Project, I have an older 2011 Bug Eye Speed but mine came 'supplied' by the previous owner! Whilst legal with the baffle in (E marked) circlip pliers allow mine to be easily removed.

BTW nice bike! wink Nice to see owning Speeds is catching again here on BB

Cheers for that, wanted a low can really as I like the look and far less weight.
Had a 2011 speed myself and loved it, was so glad when the RS came out as it’s moved the speed into supernakeds now

Great stretch of road that, about 15 minutes from home and many many happy hours spent blatting around there. Hope you enjoyed it and the GSXR. Lovely looking bike and they are so nice to ride too. Enjoy!

What a view and its sad as it sounds I like knowing we can ride these bikes with all that power and still get 50+mpg...at least if Japanese, I average 36.7-38.9mpg on a casual bimble typically bloody Italian mapping haha

In fairness that was after a motorway run ... but even on the twisty stuff having a bit of fun it was still averaging 38mpg + ... it is very good on fuel though!

The R1 used to barely get 40mpg on a motorway run about more like 30mpg on a fun run!

150 miles roughly ... bonus is you have a proper mileage countdown, but no light.

It will be on the commute next week and reckon will be 160-170 miles from the 16 litre tank...
