I've owned a number of "full systems" as well as many slip-on "cans." You can spend a ton of cash for a very small amount of useable performance in a given RPM range and for me, that just doesn't work. That being said, this may be the first commercially available unit for the R3 and as excellent as the Akrapovic name is, cost vs performance is a definite thumbs down!
Looks may be another thing but the way I see it, the stock exhaust is stylish, down only .4 HP, won't bring the cops running every time you gas it and since I won't be riding to often at 12,000 rpm, I'll spend my money on something that I would consider more important or of greater value; like ten nice dinners at a cozy restaurant with my wife.
I'm guessing the cost to be around the $400 range!
