You are, I'm sure, aware that it has twin underseat exhausts?  Rather unkindly and some say unjustly, it was likened to a wheel barrow, by some of the shite journos that write for the gutter press.  Beauty, as they say is in the eye of the beerholder.  Always thought they looked lush, from any angle, and as for perfomance, it's still a 10R and goes as fast as I need thats for sure!

I have a Barra as my track bike, It was far from my 1st choice but my Barra owning mate persuaded me to go with it. Now a year later and many trackdays under our belt, we are well gelled and getting on great together.

Although people seem to think exhausts for them are worth loads of money. :lol:

This is why I'm running standard cans on the track bike. I refuse on principle to pay top dollar for what was given freely to aid poor sales.

Besides - if to drop an A&R kit into the original cans they are as light as the Akras for less than $100.
Anyone who was at Brunters can attest to how they sound.........
My issue is with what people seem to think secondhand parts are worth rather than what they are actually worth.

What is this A&R kit of which you speak?
