scoprion

[goldengraemes]

on speaking to my local bike dealer he recomends the scopion on build quality and price what u guys think? what gains is there on a can with and without baffle

[M.C.]

i had one on my svs it did sound really good but the build quality was not as good as the remus i had on my cbr
i dont know about power gains but it did make it rev more smoothly.

[Mr Toad]

dunno about a Scoprion (or Scopion for that matter) :D

However the Scorpion is very nice :D

Build quality looks OK, don't know what it's like with the baffle as it's never been in :shock: I'll let you know what it looks like next summer after it's got through the rest of the winter :cry:

It might have released a few horses, but at this time of year, with the roads being what they are it's a bit hard to tell. I didn't buy it go faster, I bought it because it sounds good, although probably not as good as a Renegade 8)

im looking to get one on the sound of it dont want it to be too offensive but let some of the v2 grumble out and to let people no im there :twisted:

[Mr Toad]

I bet that Gilera pulls a mean wheelie :twisted:

[Cloggsy]

not as good as the remus

:thumbsup:

[goldengraemes]

yeah it does its done the 1/4mile in 14.6 at 86 mph so not bad it has v+m race paint work.for anyone been to a straightliner meet at york or elvington may have seen me? and it was featured in twist and go before i spent £2k on the engine!!!!
anyhow bikes for me on the road though,think i may go for a scorp.what prices for a remus? £200+

[Cloggsy]

what prices for a remus? £200+

Mine was £343 fitted (low level) - I'm now high level £50 (parts) :twisted:

I can't fault my Scorpion... Sounded absolutely awesome... My favourite sound on an Sv, I think!

I can't fault the build quality... I dropped it on track at Llandow last year and it landed on the right hand side and slid about 10-15 feet down the track... The can a) prevented the bike from having more than ajust a scratch to the brake pedal and a slightly damaged indicator, and b)picked up just really minor scuff marks... Still worked fine.

Then after my big one, the can is still intact without much noticeable damage to it! Only when you look on the inside of the can (through the wheel) do you notice the beating it's taken! (click on my signature to see my pics & judge for yourself!)

The sound was incredible with the baffle out & very nice with it in too!

add to that, the fact that Scorpion offer a lifetime warranty, I don't think you can go far wrong!!

HTH

how u walked from that u must have been in a bad way.
what u guys think then plain round,plain oval,or the titanium irridecent finsh? what does the irridecent finish stay like???? quiete fancy it :twisted:

[UncleBob]

I quite fancy a plain oval.. but I would prefer a shiny one... Gonna get one myself one day..

[steveo]

When i was in P&H bikes i was told by the parts guy that they don't do a round exhaust for the K3, only do the oval. Not sure if its the same for the K4?

[Grinch]

Ask Scoob's I think he's got one on his bike.

Hmmm - 6 broken bones in 5 places but I'm still here & I'm a stubborn, determined git, so I'll be fine!!

I personally think the plain titanium oval looks best on the newer SVs. I'm still undecided on the older ones.
The titanium finish just seems to be very close to the colour of the frame so looks like it's meant to be there!

As for the iridescent finish, I assume you mean the coloured/scorched titanium finish? In theory the coloured part is the colour titanium will naturally go when it is heated! The shiny part is just the same as the matt finished stuff, but polished!
I do seem to recall however, that Dr. Rich had some of the coloured part 'rub off' on his Blue Flame... Might be worth a PM!?

This is quite possible and come to think of it, I have never seen a round Scorpion on a K3> bike. I was told by the guy on the Scorpion stand at the NEC last year that they were not going to offer a carbon can for the SV, as the vibes that come from the engine would rip it apart! :shock:

[Scoobs]

Ask Scoob's I think he's got one on his bike.

I do!

Good build quality, good price, sounds pretty good with the baffle in and mental with it out. Revs more cleanly through the rev range. Don't know about extra ponies, but I am happy with it.

[Grinch]

Tada... if by magic 'Scoob's' apears.

[goldengraemes]

so the colour will come of those ones with heat.i liked the look of it cos it looks different and its shiny finish.might go with oval titanium if its safest bet.wouldnt wanna buy the scorched irredecenty one if it fades???
