nice bike Moz..

and I'm finding the same riding my FZ8.  Such a good laugh I don't think I'll be back on a sports bike any time soon..

Moz, what exhaust did you get for this in the end, and how are you getting on overall with the bike?

I am picking up the standard 1190 Adventure next week and need to order an exhaust (silencer), so far the following seem reasonably good value when compared to the Akro prices so would be interested to have your views.

Wings Short:   620 Euro's  (http://www.wings.si/)
Barrett:           $540 Australian (http://www.barrettexhausts.com.au/ktm-gallery.html)
Arrow:            £437 (From http://www.genialmotor.it/catalog/KTM-1190-ADVENTURE-R-2013-ARROW-EXHAUST-TITANIUM-MAXI-RACETECH but not sure about ordering from these guys to be honest.)

Cheers

Love it. 700 miles done. Fitted the Arrow in the end. Got it from Italy off eBay for £300 delivered new from Genial. No issues. Took two weeks to arrive.

Sounds mental, especially on the overrun!!

Significantly faster than you.....

looks good, is that a picture of your bike, I thought you were getting the R version?

Have found a couple on e-bay, this one seems good value http://r.ebay.com/GZkCnG

Yep. That's this month's keeper  :rofl:

Didn't bother with the R version in the end. The standard bike is just as good and as it will spend 99.9% of its time on Tarmac, it's all I need.
