Have a look at the link on this page of the Bking launch ,
http://www.motorcyclenews.com/nav?pa...WS_NEW -BIKES Any attempt at underseat pipes would be an improvement on what suzuki have done on the BKing

[bike mad]

look the same to me,
that's the problem,
I remember when the 999 came out, the man said that the new exhausts were made like they were so they had more room in side them to help with the baffling, more gas less noise, more power,
and it made sense to me and I like the look of the 999s rear so when I look at the pipes on the new bike I think it's old and cheap,
My mind is not made up, and wont be till I have seen the new bike and had time to take it in but the rear is not good,

I'm thinking the rear pipes are a total dummy. They will have something a bit special in the pipeline (pardon the pun). Remember the exhaust on the Desmosedici test mule. NOW did that look the same when the bike was released???

I hope they do it the sedici way for the mono, very clever. I doubt that is the finished bike though, and it will look much better. Similarly with those pics of the hyper motard, I doubt it will have the rear lights from a 749 just stuck on the back like that

The weekly rag says twin headlights, twin cans and single sided rear are definites. So who knows...
