S1000RR Photoshop Request
Can any of the PS gurus on here photoshop the Akra exhaust off the race bike onto the production bike? I am sure it will be one of the more popular modifications!

What about the twin Akra system?
 Covers up my lack of skills to remove the original exhaust.  Okay.... Just waiting for the pro's to do their thing.

And don't forget to add in the saddlebags...it IS a BMW and all BMWs MUST have saddlebags...probably why they kept the exhaust(s) low, right?!! ;-)

looks pretty sweet! although I don't dislike the stock megaphone, the tumor its attached to looks pretty crappy. If the megaphone is detachable hopefully somone will do a bypass.

Yep,
I must take some time to get use to the headlight design although...  But as many BMW bike designs, they know what they are doing... I will love it in a matter of time... And yes, ditching the megaphone should not be an after market option...

Well the GS's have gotten along quite well with the asymmetrical Bill the Cat look. I don't mind the look of the new bike. Especially since a Full Monte model will cost about the same as what I paid for my R12S. We shall see.

Hey I kinda like the dual side exhaust. Now if you could move it under the seat, bingo. It definitely needs some exhaust tone redo. I heard it in Long Beach at there unveiling. The sale guy revved the piss out of it. Gold wings make a better sound. Oh well, easy fix. Still think the HP2S is the one to have. I bet it does not need an exhaust mod to sound sweet.

What's wrong with quiet? I was recently riding with a friend on his new GSXR1000....completely stock. I asked him to go by me when I was doing around 75 or so to hear it. Well, go by me he did, but all I heard was the wind....a big ole whoosh. Surprising that this much grunt could be so silent. Of course, he's recently changed all that.....it now makes all kinds of noise and has about 5 more HP. Big deal.

...and with my crappy skills, I took it a step further... ...gave the exhaust pipe a black finish... ...removed the passenger pegs... ...gave the bike a seat cover ; or at least I tried...  .

The sound is everything Bobsta, you don't care for it? Is the Smart stock in the piping area? I quickly forget the shape of what I'm riding and ride along with the motor and the sound, I guess there's stupid loud, nice loud and quiet. Ever had a night with a screamer and put on your headphones? yeah?, man I thought you were a normal kind of fella - nope, your weird
