        almost all the exhausts these days are big and bulky for emission reasons. a full new exhaust and a tune up will easily shave kilos of the bike and add plenty of new horses.

          So I guess the jury is still out on what that is ? Maybe Exhaustec (TM) !!
          It's the middle chamber for the exhaust. This allows the end can to be much shorter and lighter. Also helps in mass centralization. The R6 started it and now a lot of bikes have a similar design. Including our very on FZ.

            Thanks a lot for that. Even I managed to read some more on that yest.
            There are some nice pics and info on the bike at Faster and Faster: BMW S1000RR to be priced competitively, will take on the Japanese Big Four

            And I also retract my statement of the Buells having the fuel tank at that place. They contain the fuel in the frame spars. Must have had my brains in 'noob' mode yesterday !!

            So its definitely the exhaust chamber ! They say its also got asymmetrical headlights, a trademark of BMWs, anyone got a shot of that ?
