I would hope an aftermarket unit may improve the aesthetics, as well as the sound.?

No point getting a tail tidy if this bike is going to be used for commuting. I know the OEM isn't very attractive but they do an excellent job of keeping the road crap off you.

No pay rise this year (again) but I got a £325 "thank you". So time for an exhaust.

I'm looking at PipeWerx.

I'm think of either the R11 tri-oval in black

Or the Carbon edge tri-oval

If he doesn’t like it he’ll just buy a new bike (lol)

Think the R11 is the go personally as well

Checked how easy it is to take the exhaust off.

Very.

It is an excellent all round bike. They're an absolute bargain for what you get.

It's booked in for first thing Tuesday morning to have the first service. I need to make sure it's done the miles by then.

Stow on Sunday or Monday for a brew and a bit of a blast about the Cotswolds?
