Unknown quantity on an S, more common as slip-ons for Jap stuff

It's not how fast you ride, it's how you ride fast.
Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear
bright until you hear them speak.

actually I hadn't noticed the colour of the pipes, obviously blinded by the shinny silencer units
however Scorpions website doesn't list ANY BMW stuff so it does sound ominous

Come on guys, don't tease. Where did you see these new Scorpion pipes?
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

I saw some 'scorpion' exhausts on a demonstrator at Pidcocks yesterday, I can't remember any details of the 'S', but remember seeing the scorpion symbol on the rear end of the silencer, I'll ask next time I'm there.

I had another look at the R1100s fitted with the scorpion exhaust at pidcocks, I had one of the salesmen start the bike so I could hear it - loudish.
I asked how much it would cost, but this is the only one they have, & this is the bike lent to scorpion so they could measure & make a exhaust to fit.
They should have a price soon.
