Would love to mate. But part of letting me have it. Is redoing the kids rooms this weekend. Want to get it all done before Sunday and try and get out on it then.

And an old accessory off my previous speed. Which was actually from the sprint options.

I just love the purposeful looks and stance of the current top line naked bikes, be it Tuono, Street or Speed Triple, Superduke, S1000R, MT10.

Ducati are missing a trick until the V4 Streetfighter comes out.

I do think the Speed looks better with a low exhaust. The Arrow I had on mine was brilliant.

Leo Vince make good cans (y)

I love mine on the Kwak.. probably more so than the Racefit now I'm not so young and immature. Never selling the Racefit though as it was a £370 gift from the Fiancé long before we were engaged

I actually prefer the twin High level pipes. I like the symmetry. The sc project carbon low level does look nice too though

Much better journey to work now back on the bike. And weirdly everything felt natural again already. Even though only the second ride.

It's supposed to be dry all week.

So that's one whole week before you brand new bike starts getting rusty :D :D

It is weather like this that makes me wish I had a road-legal bike, tax, road insurance and MOT :(

I like both options. I like the dual high-mount cans because they look like rocket packs strapped to the bike. I like the low, single, side-mount pipe because it cleans things up.
What I like about both options is that they leave a big open space to show off the single-sided swingarm. It'd be the dumbest idea ever to have a single-sided swingarm bike where you had to remove the can to take the wheel off.
