For many motorcyclists, the first thing to be replaced on their bikes is the exhaust system. Indeed, the sound of a motorcycle’s engine has always been a deciding factor when choosing the bikes in our garages. Personally, sound has always been a major factor for me, and nearly all the bikes I’ve ever owned have been fitted with an aftermarket exhaust system.
Given the recent influx of new models across multiple manufacturers, it goes without saying that aftermarket exhaust manufacturers have their work cut out for them when it comes to releasing new exhaust systems for today’s crop of modern machinery. The R&D process can be rather lengthy, too, especially given how much tech is now loaded into bikes, as well as how big of a role the exhaust plays in the game of performance.
