Katana (22) Titanium Slip-On B-77 Cyclone<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little while back I had it in stock!? For testing!? and acquired it.
It’s reassuring to have one in these times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s got a pretty straight structure…
This is definitely going to be loud!? No question about it, but I felt like it might actually be usable.
*If you use it as-is it flows too much!? Be careful (*’\u03c9’*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The inlet diameter is not 60.5, so please note!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They won’t let you adapt it that easily…
When it comes to Yoshimura class, their attention to detail is ironclad.
Walls high!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Short and thick… that’s the kind of feel it has.
The shape makes it a bit tricky to balance during installation.

Thinking it over a bit, imagining which parts are cool!? is one of the fun parts too, I think. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn’t that kind of time the most fun? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The tone is gentle. The volume is on the loud side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My honest impression is surprising!?
I imagined that straight-four straight-pipe “gero-gero” sound, but that’s not what it is.
It’s the kind of sound you get when you swap the muffler on a modern fuel-injected bike and it gets thicker\u2014surprisingly good!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the awkward, overly muffled sound of the JMCA hand-bent titanium banana on the GSX1100S or GS1200S, this is clearly a better impression.
*I’m not dissing it\u2014there were probably various design and historical reasons for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design is like the JMCA hand-bent titanium banana
and the tone is like the Katana (22) Titanium Slip-On B-77 Cyclone<\/a>, I’d say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
