Reminds me of a story....
Tripping on back in time.MV motorcycles comes out with a 750 .Think Ducati on steroids.Same designer,same slap your momma,that's the most ridiculously BA motorcycle I've ever seen.OK,a jet setting architect riding bud,"signs" up...he buys one.
Fast fwd'ing...he buys,another,then another.
But back to the beginning,he gets it and if you Google foo the original,you'll see these gorgeous 4 into 1 into ?...exhaust systems.
So,being as Al Gore has created this medium where like minded folks can get on and do whatever it is?that folks actually accomplish while fingering a keyboard...we have an MV "site".
So I sign up...it's well attended,heck man...what's his name,the famous MV factory rider from back in the day is even on here.Which was,pretty cool.So anyway...as usual,new product comes out.Now how can we,hop it up?Yup,several co's come out with aftermarket exhaust systems.
Time goes by...maybe two years?All the while,me and my riding partner are being completely obnoxious,garnering "speed awards"...wearing out track days.
For some reasons,mostly he's the educated one,haha..I'm always second in this,flying circus.As such,I'm privy to the,off throttle flame fart that comes out of the MV exhaust.We just don't give a rip,pay the tickets,buy truck loads of tyres,do another track day sorts.
Come to find out,2-3 years later...point in fact the factory "header" put out more HP than all the aftermarket stuff?We still get a laugh about it.Until you're thoroughly running past factory equipment,do you really need a bump in performance?
