Exhaust Silencer

Post by EasyRider »

I maybe changing in my ways, but is it worth having an aftermarket exhaust silencer on the RT.
I have an Akrapovic on my zx9r, i had Akrapovic's on my Gen2 Hayabusa. But these bikes were for speed.
Apart from a little bit of weight saving and maybe a couple of extra bhp. does the RT need it in the real world.

Thought about it too and decided to keep it stock. While the big chrome silencer looks awful on the R/RS, to me it's OK on the RT especially with the Triple Black colors.

You're riding a Gentlemans bike now. It's all about adding weight now and riding past silently. :lol:

Never heard of him/her. Life stopped in the 80s for me.
