Truly sweet that you just got picked-up off the 'net like that for such a cool (and expensive) trip on their dime! Congrats - & kudos to Kawi!

Finally read the review and saw the pics. Great write up. Seems like your opinion of the bike jives with everything else I've read. Appears to be a great bike.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I don't consider myself a writer, so the fact that you could not only understand, but seem to enjoy my ramblings makes me happy.

It was written in a language normal people can understand. You did well!

The Drummer is a thing of beauty, granted aftermarket.

Looking at stock (as that's what I was criticizing) even my stock "dog-bone" flowed well with the rest of the bike.
Regardless, it is no worse than the stock pipe on your ride, and FAR better than the megaphone on the Z1K.

You know, the stocker on the 1125 really ties the bottom of the bike together well. I wish it sounded meaner.

exactly. It really looked odd with nothing down there when I was swapping them. that's why I couldn't do one of the side mount exhausts (like jardine)

Yeah I really dont like the side mounters. Defeats the original purpose of mass centralization if you ask me.

Here's the youtube video. Whew! I am worn out. Three flights in three days, a 21 hour day on Saturday, then writing a review, going through photos and editing video, I need a vacation.
