I am not feeling the pipe on either of the two bikes. Although I really, really am liking the CBR1000rr. I am not sure if that is the official version that will be released, but I hope so.

I haven't seen a single a/m exhaust (side/low exit) for the Gix and R6 that has looked good. But I'm probably in the minority.

I hate this whole shorty exhaust thing...albeit better for performance.

common, did you really like scuba tanks on the side of bikes? I'll agree, the stock version sucks, and looks hideous on most bikes, but who keeps the stock pipes on a sport bike anyway?

And damn..... If that is the new zx10, I'll be first in line, I haven't seen that one yet and by the looks of it, it might be real or close to it. I'm very disappointed in the cbr.

Not bad, a lot better than last year, but still doesn't look as good as the other 3 IMO. Nice to see the undertail fad going away, always seemed pointless to me.

Centralizes mass, reduces drag

Great in theory, and as you can see by the exhausts on these new bikes, that's all it was.

i actually thought the undertail exhaust was a great idea, and looked pretty good as well

one thing i just dont understand is why they continue to make the rear fender so ******* protrusive and unbelonging.
