Put this here because I think it's relevant to WSBK, and what Ten Kate could achieve next season. Some spyshots came out of what is purported to be the 2017 bike.

I am not fooling myself and thinking this is going to be an all conquering monster, but I hope it at least brings the team a bit closer to the front.

Oh and I expect to see Steeeve posting in here.
 
The can is minging as usual, why can nobody design a decent looking exhaust on new bikes?

Ha, not many but if the stocker was aesthetically pleasing perhaps no change would be necessary.

Even if no performance was to be gained by swapping the exhaust out, I'd still swap it just to get a better sound. Stock exhausts while quiet, and more pleasing to the neighbors, is just no fun. I decided the pipes I put on my Harley weren't loud enough and swapped out the baffles for a different set. All I can say is, Jesus H Christ.

Can't beat the sound of a twin with deep and loud sounding pipes, off subject but I'd love to see moto 2 go to 500 twin cylinder format.

When buying a new bike they should let you take one without the exhaust at a discounted price given that this is the first thing to go. But I guess they technically not allowed to sell a new bike without a compliant exhaust?
