Thanks for the pics of the '05 Gixxer Ricci... any idea on why they made that can so huge? I'm guessing they wanted to make a statement saying "Look everyone, we AINT doing underseat exhausts!!"

**Ricci** · 08-31-2004, 12:24 PM

seems a MotoGP type exhaust clone to me - the size is actually not much bigger than before - looks shorter but wider diameter - but most interesting is the megaphonic section - earlier it was a startight pipe joining muffler , now its sorta 2 stroke like . Also seems angled inwards and closer to the body than before for better aerodynamics .

well wteva you say but these are some of the best creations!

You're probably right Ricci... but cant really make out from this angle... could you perhaps get some more scoop pics?

**auto_freak** · 10-03-2004, 09:40 AM

thanks KEN

**Ricci** · 10-03-2004, 11:49 AM

@Ken : turns out I was right . That exhaust is actually closer to the body for better aero and lean angles ....but I kinda liked the old exhuast better . In fact old 2003/2004 bike looked lot better .

**Ken** · 10-06-2004, 12:30 AM

I agree wit you Ricci.... the new one does look kinda neat with that Titanium badge and color, but its just a bit too big for my choice... Other than the can, the rest of the body remains relatively unchanged from the previous years.
