sold the S2000 for another car then ditched that for the bike.

I listen to all opinions and comments. I really like cars and bikes however a car isn't practical for me at the moment. i live in london and it takes me 15-20 mins to get to work on the bike. used to take me 45-55 mins in the car. if i do a five day week it saves me 5 hours worth of traverling a week! 2.5 hours on the bike 7 hours in the car! i work 12 hour shifts including nights so anything to get me home quickly is a good thing.
I also think it is pretty important to have a loud can when riding in london. the stock can was very quiet. i have found car drivers pay allot more attention to me coming up the road now which is pretty important to a new rider with less skills to quickly manover out of trouble. i ride in allot of traffic but get to open her up on a few spots on the way to work. in the car i used to sit there bumper to bumper with the air con on! burning allot of gas.
4 other guys at work also ride in after ditching their cars. we go to race meets, rides etc which is cool







i used to get a bit of grief for having an S2000 at work. As i was 21 when i had it. it was one of the best cars in the car park and i think it used to get up peoples noses. you can see the typical spread of cars behind my friends ninja! People used to right me off as a flash git. got the bike and people seem to be interested in me! So I am used to critisim and really don't mind if people want to slag off my car or bike / exhaust.

when the time comes again the bike will be a toy in the garage and will be returning to the S2000. i have even kept the number plate.

 

clean S...nice Duc too...I'm 23 and my car pisses so many people off. I know what you're saying about being the young guy with one of the best cars.

 

18 here and get that crap alot of the time, but anyways....


Putney for ditching your car for a bike! thats badass lol be safe

 

oh god please get rid of that horrible oem mud guard. but i will give you a on the tank guard looks good on your bike.

 

OEM mud guard changed for carbon fiber rear hugger! still got the big number plate and horrible indicators though. not seen anyones i really like yet

 

watch out with the Yosh if you take track days. Lots of tracks in the UK have db restrictions on their bikes. I have had a couple of friends get their bikes thrown off the track for their exhaust's breaking the db level. Most Yosh exhausts make it just under, but I am not totally sure on the 600RR. Just something to consider, you might want to keep your stocker available to swap out if you decide to take a track day. Nice to see your bud wearing gear, hopefully you are doing the same. Nice set of wheels you have there.

 

I might have to get a baffle to go in the end then. i was planning doing a track day next week! would be my first one. its not a simple job to change the exhaust it took me around two hours last time!

i always wear gear. leather jacket, boots, leather pants, helmet and gloves. come off already you see!

 

I would call the organization sponsoring the track day or the track itself and ask if there are any db restrictions then. if they are in the low 90's then you likely will need some additional silencing to run.

 

Do i need to get the bike remapped / power commander now that i have a new exhaust?

 

any bike, even with a stock exhaust, can benefit from a power commander and a custom map. i don't think you need one though, as the Yosh isn't THAT much more a free-flowing exhaust. You would see some power gains with a map i think, but it is certainly not necessary.
