Alright, who was the first? Alot of people keep saying how stunting is the future of bikes, and how we are evolving the sport/hobby, and this is some new proof. Say hello to the new Yoshimura Gsxr1000 2005 exhaust. Look familiar? Think its a stunter thing or a MotoGP thing? Maybe both?

If thats a GP exhaust, Yoshi just ****ed up good. That **** would get scraped up more than you're knee pucks. People have enough trouble trying not to lowside an off camber exhaust side curve with exhausts that are set a lot higher and out of the way than that.

DumpState

Id like to see someone try and scrape that thing.

Rocket

It looks like it sticks out as far as the peg. With a set of dragon slicks, and a Road Atlanta style off camber turn you'ld be scraping the **** out of it.

True. But I wonder if Yosh designed it solely based on the GP exhaust or if they noticed stunters doing it at all. My guess is it was a little of both. Someone working for Suzuki/yoshimura probably was looking for the latest trend, and wanted to be the first to do something different. Cool regardless.

the exhaust looks clean *** hell.

I love it. I think the **** is bangin. It just surprizes me that Yoshi would be the first popping out with this. I would expect some of the more style only companies to bust out with a stunter exhaust

Actually, this is the first aftermarket Ive seen for the 05 1K. And since the stock is a shorty too, my guess is everyones will look like this for this bike. Thats pretty dope.

Pflepnuts

Im gonna say Thew was rockin a shorty long ago. And by the way the tri oval exhaust provides MORE ground clearance than any other model Yosh has produced, but i have no idea why they would shorten it for the track???

Rocket

That's making me want to go home and cut one of my yoshers down.

A. The stock exhaust for the 05 gix 1000 was made in that funny shape for the purpose of centralizing weight. I doubt they are noticing stunt riders style and copying it.

B. Back to the original question, the first stunter with a shorty exhaust was the first guy to crash a 12 and noticed the scrape on the end of the pipe. Simple soloution to a simple problem.

id imagine the first dude to hit his exhaust and loop a wheelie cut it shorter the next time haha...i dunno but i chopped about 5 inches off my D&D carbon fiber just to be safe

forcefedfreak

true moto gp bikes typically tuck them under the seat, or a highmount...that thing does look clean as hell though.
