What u reckon? - SV650.org

Despite having my Termignoni exhaust system waiting for me to collect and fit,I am having second thoughts. Largely due to ongoing research and comments by many that have had the Termi's fitted. I might add that pÃ*ying top price for a known name which is normally associated with Ducati,is no guarantee of top kit.

In addition I have never really fully liked the look of the standard large underseat collector on my bike and buying the Termi is just repeating this but yippee you get a carbon shroud also!

As many of you guys that like to tweak and fiddle will agree, there is something about not just being run of the mill and having a bike that has a bit of individuality gives a special buzz to the owner.

Well as many of you know I am a big Moto GP fan and an exact replica of the GP05 race bike zorsts can be had from a company in Japan,(costs many yen though!) However on a similar basis I have found what could be a great option which will allow me to tweak the motor with a PC3 and the sound is effing awesome! Even for here they would have to be toned down! But again the sound is very raucous and moto GP ish, certainly different.

Have a look at the pics below,the one's shown are proto types and so are not finished off for the end user. I think when polished etc they would look very cool!

If I did go with them I would get them to make the zorsts finish maybe 2 or 3 inches shorter,nearer to the bike. BTW do not worry I will not at all be offended if you hate them!

I think they look superb. Get them exactly like that, finish and all. Looks totally factory.

Sorry but I think they look nasty. I don't like to see al the welds.

Not quite there, but nearly. Potentially very nice. Where does the brake light go?

Northy...These exhausts aremade to your own specification by a company in the U.S. I am waiting for a reply from them as I have told them that here in Spain the license plate can't be hidden under the bike near the shocker.

I have explained that the wiring to the rear light assembly is carried in a metal tube which also must be hidden but the mounting of the plate needs to be at the same distance as it would be with the standard exhaust.Does that make sense?

They have to figure out some way of achieving this which based on what I have seen of their work,should not be a problem

Fortunately they are part of a Ducati dealership and so have bikes there that they can use as models to come up with what you are looking for.

Don't like them Pete... Go with the Termi's

None at at all

Nah, I get it. I want to hear that bike go...

It will certainly be individual

I like the shape, but as you say, closer to the bodywork, and mybe a little smaller in diameter (those ones look like a pair of RPG's waiting to be fired

).

Reducung the diameter should also allow for a rear light and plate assy.

Go for it mate, I would.... (But then I think you knew that already).

Northy...Go have a listen on the links shown below! There is a sound clip of a guy blipping a 999 plus a clip of a walk around a bike with them at tick over. Not sure if they have the baffles in...but am sure the Old Bill wouldn't be too happy!
