[posiden]

Ive been following a 999S exhaust system that been on e bay for a week. It finishes at 19:15 tonight. The price has jumped from £360 to £1020 in the last five minutes.
Are people really that desperate for one that they'll pay over the odds for them?
I'm loathed to pay £1000 for an exhaust system (but probably will) but at least if I get it from a dealer it will have a warranty.
Terrible thing -------Envy!

There aren't that many used exhausts for the newer bikes on fleabay, its probably the old demand vs supply thingie kicking in...but you're right about idiots though, some of them think its gotta be cheaper just because its on eBay

[posiden]

hello gents, hope your both well.
the auction finishes in a couple of minutes so i will watch and see if the bidding goes any higher.
Im now torn between £1000 for a new exhuast or keeping the cash and saving for a new bike next year - DOH

Dont forget that the system should come with the matching ECU.

Which is no use unless yours is the first bike it is being fitted to

Race ECU's supplies with exhaust systems become "programmed" to the first bike they are fitted to , they will not work on any other bike afterwards.

If the "system" which started this thread off was a full sysytem and not assymetric £1020 is not that bad a price , a 54mm full system new would be almost £2K and a 57mm full system £2.5K


Supply and demand I think it's called

[Jools]

Does anybody else think that £2.5K is just taking the **** for a bit of bent tubing and a box stuffed with wadding?
