In my opinion, that is one of the most silly-looking exhaust treatments I think I have ever seen. I realize I shouldn't pass judgement until I see one in person (yeah, right, who has ever seen an MV in person), but first impressions are not good. |

So that explains where all the surplus 1125R/CR mufflers went to. Off to Italy to get modified and slapped on a MV |

Way over done. AAAack!! But the rest of the bike is gorgeous. J and j, they are even more sexy in person. It's especially hard to say "no" too, when marked down from being a showroom floor ornament for too long. I was this close ---> () to buying a Brutale, had to walk out because I was starting to reach for my checkbook. Ever been propositioned by an absolutely beautiful woman? It was a lot like that. More Buell engineering will make it's way into the mainstream as various patents run out I think. (Message edited by littlebuggles on November 07, 2010) |

n my opinion, that is one of the most silly-looking exhaust treatments I think I have ever seen. Have to agree that it is a significant miscue in the overall design of the bike. Looks like crap. |

i thought of not posting this due to the cravings it will cause: we should petition akrapovic for one of these!!! |

I had a better time on the 690 Duke (also with under mounted exhaust) then the LC8. Lots more usable power, the LC8 (to me) is a track bike, didn't do so well on the street. |

Yeah, but the 990 Duke is AWESOME!!! I'm not partial to the RC8 either, but I love their motors. |

thanks Smoke for the bike porn with that exhaust - yes, they need to make similar for our bike (1125) |

Nobody's ever accused me of being a performance parts junkie, but that Akrapovic is ART! |

Great innovation by Buell. And even greater that it was just rendered obsolete by a recent and innovative patent. |

That entire engine, frame, sh!t, whole bike is art. |
