My Jimny is, but the Landy isn't.
On saying that, rubschin: i've been warned not to publisise the fact that i'm using Suzukis on the Landy forum i'm a member of, unless i want to face the full wroth and piss taking of the millions in there.
So in conclusion, i can p'raps see where you're comin' from now. ;)
Some folk get VERY VERY defensive and passionate about the vehicle make they've chosen. It's almost a flamin' illness for some. lol:

Erm...
Blame the Young's frenzy.
Anyhoo... Back to the point in hand. The Yam is a good bit of kit, so enjoy.
But it should be pointed out that it generally ridden by mincing, elbow-patched, vegetarian Guardian readers who have recently had lessons in hanging basketry and knitting.
I have the source, should anyone want it.
And P.S. A Suzuki RM450 would butt-fuck it :-)

So BM, a word of warning in your shell-like ear: Watch those rear view mirrors like a hawk! If you should see a Suzuki RM450 approaching from the rear, you'd better have a damn good contingency plan!

And while you are at it, ensure your exhaust is clear of obstructions...

P.S. Just re-reading your post, Barman, when you said you just tested your helmet and leathers, please say you didn't just have an "off" on your gay Aprilla. I used to laugh at those big twins that always - and I MEAN always - lobbed it on track days trying to keep up with the humble GSXR750s...

Good. The Power Commander should sort out the snatchy standard fuel injection, but why the newed for two pipes - purely cosmetic?

I am aware of that, nincompoop! A GSXR750 has 8 exhaust ports, but it doesn't have 8 exhaust pipes! Why not a 2 into 1 system? There would be a weight saving, although I grant it might not look as aesthetically pleasing. Do you wear a crash helmet?

Nincompoop! How very dare you? evil:
The twin exhausts look (IMHO) absolutely stunning… so perhaps it is just aesthetics. I don’t really care. It sounds like a ‘real’ bike, loud and mechanical – not like a sewing machine…
Always wear a helmet thanks.

Snoopy beat me to it, I was trying to reel you in lol:
And, I'll have you know, my GSXR has an Akrapovic and in no way sounds like a sewing machine, especially not at 14,000 rpm! Sadly, Mrs TMR's GSXR has the standard pipe on it and that does sound somewhat muted.

Mrs. Barman's ZX6 was somewhat muted ‘till you opened it up. I fitted the titanium race exhaust to my Aprilia but was always worried about some policeman with nothing better to do nicking me – especially down at Box Hill…
You never been stopped for noise?

No - only the odd wheelie, stoppie and silly knee-down shenanigans on roundabouts. Most policeman will let you off with a warning as long as you say please sir, thank you sir etc.

Simple answer to that one, BM is fuelling it with his homebrew. It needs the 2 reinforced pipes to handle the gas. whistle:

What's a 'stoppie'?
IMHO a overly noisy motorcycle just says "Look at Me" and is indicative of the insecurities of the rider.
