I don't think the R1200S is ugly, heck even the ST is growing on me

The "Q425A special model", 916 colour scheme (I still think this is two fingers to Ducati with the 11S having underseat pipes), along with sports suspension and "wide tires" denotes a mamola BCR

Oh and as far as I'm aware I thought the lazer pipes were OEM on the red white and blue boxercups?

Mine has a full Remus Grand Prix on it that's a little loud

Thanks again!

On the exhaust issue: I’m thinking on fabricating one (bike already has the Y-pipe) myself, since I think the aftermarket cans are way overpriced.
I like the absorption type (with a perforated pipe in the middle, and dampening material around it) and was very happy with the one I made for my Suzuki.
But since the pipe leading up to where the end cans sit is offset from the center, it has to be a baffle type muffler.

Sorry

I thought about that before writing, but then again: beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?
And if it’s of any consolation: an r1200s will literally run rings around an r1100s any day of the week! Even a BCR, with all those fancy decals all over the lower fairing!

Harrumph ..... I take exception to that Tapio

.... my BCR's been known to run rings around the occasional R12S ... of course whilst never exceeding any speed limits on the Queens Highway
