Well Ted, if it's opinions you are after....

I think there is something a little strange about Zed's with 4-4's fitted when they didn't have em as standard.

Have seen a few A1/A2 with 4-4....weird !

In my mind the z1r should have a 4-1, maybe the standard pipe...or other.

Have to agree with that mate, 4-4 looks better on round bikes :wink:

I never like to be negative in a post I'd ususally just not comment but I really don't like Sito's at all on anything. A Z1-R with the standard pipe is scarce so it's got to be better looking that way. I think the German Z1-R with the 4-4 system is a bit strange looking, but it's a bit of Kawasaki historic weirdness so as far as that goes it's good. I think 1000 A1s ansd A2s with four pipes look good it's what they should have been made with cost and legislation permitting and at the time everyone thought it was a bit of a bad move not just with 20-20 hindsight - round bikes suit the round 4-4 system angular ones less so. Having said that a standard A1/A2 system looks better now than it did at the time....

And having said all that - whatever rocks your boat - it's your bike you can do what you want and if people don't like your taste they can fuck off....

People aren't familiar with seeing certain things. When you are used to/expecting to see the "standard/norm", it looks odd to see something completely different.
Just like breeds of dogsdogs with long tails when they used to be docked.
Looks odd, but will seem the norm one day soon.
4 into 4 on a A1/2, sito's on Ted's Z1R? None of us disaprove of seeing an exhaust on a turbo Z, and they ain't the norm :roll:

Hope you are not telling me to fuck off Chris, Ted asked for opinions.

Usually I would agree with you and not give an opinion if it was negative, however in this case opinions were asked for.
