Subject: exhausts
Hi @-riders,
today I found something what some of you might find useful. The
German motorcycle magazine MO published a test of 3 different
exhausts for the AT in their latest issue.
In this test, they compared exhausts from Sebring, Devil and BSM to
the original Honda part.
They found out, that the original one performs best. Between approx.
3500 /min and 5000 /min all tested exhausts give less torque
(Drehmoment) than the Honda part.
Sebring is nearest to stock in performance and sound, followed by
Devil and BSM, which have almost the same performance.
So the only advantage of the tested exhausts is their weight and
price:
Sebring 5,85 Kg - 619 DM
Devil 4,75 Kg - 982 DM
BSM 4,1 Kg - 599 DM (non streetlegal) 699 DM (stainless steel) 999 DM
(Carbon)
Further, the Devil needs average technical skills, the Sebring can be
attached to the bike very easy, the BSM has one weak point: the
little meatal piece with which the exhaust is attached to the bike
seems too weak.
Funny: in this test, they tried a Lafranconi exhaust which was
originally a Moto Guzzi Le Mans II part. This thing performs better
than the other ones, except the stock part! Though, it looks ugly and
in Germany itīs not street-legal. But with 3,1 Kg itīs very light...
I try to add some pictures and infos about these exhausts and the
test to my homepage until the end of next week.
Itīs freezing cold and snowy at the edge of the bavarian alpes.
Bye,
Marco
