After some delay my bike went into Scorpion for its exhaust last week. Picked it up Friday and it looks great. Definately more growly on tick over but not overly loud, which suits me fine. I'm off to Spain soon so I'll report when I get back, should be plenty of time to find any problems!! The exhaust is "e" marked so shouldn't be a problem abroad, no remapping required but makes a few more BHP on the dyno(143 with the baffle out as opposed to 137 with the standard exhaust and 141 with the baffle in.) Don't know the price' but it will be in the catologue from the next couple of weeks.
I'll add some more pics with the panniers on.

No its not a dual system, although they did say they have just done one for the newZZR1400. All in all quite happy with it though. They do the usual variety of cans but said that the brushed stainless one was probably the most robust for a bike of this size.

Bradders, how are you getting on with the Scorpion? Thinking of getting one.

Buy from Scorpion direct, or here, http://www.twowheel.co.uk - both are £299 but free shipping at Two Wheel Centre.

The fitment says GTR1400 2010 on. Mine is an 09 so I contacted Scorpion to see if the Serket silencer will fit - answer 'yes'.

If I buy I will buy direct just in case there is an issue with 09 fitment. You also get lifetime warranty and if you trash it, a replacement for half price. All made in england it says on the web.

I wanted a bit more feed back from Bradders before I decide to buy.

O.C.

That is a good looking pipe, which suits the GTR well.

I still fancy a twin set up....but cant a££ord.  :sad:

Hi

Had the Scorpion on for about 2500 miles now and the finish is still unmarked. Fuelling is unaffected and the bike sounds great when you open it up. Cruising round and at legal-ish motorway speeds its fairly quiet so not too much of a problem on long journeys but over the Pyrenees last month it sounded awesome.
Overall a very happy bunny!!

I think the only difference between 2010 models and the earlier bikes is the heat shield. I made Scorpion aware of that when they made the pattern so I would buy direct and speak to them, they will just make the link pipe without the brackets for the shield.

Alternatively you could keep the brackets, buy a shield from Kawasaki and have cool feet!

Do you have a web page or phone number for Scorpion? I am having an adult moment trying to find one.
