Yoshimura S Rip-On Katana (19) B-77 Cyclone Government Certified Titanium Pipe YOSHIMURA 110-199-8400<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoshimura Katana slip-on muffler with a banana pipe\u2014who knew?
The inlet diameter is a bit niche, but… it looks cool!

The tail pipe is short, but the price seems pretty reasonable to me. It’s a fun option to consider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Gen Z would be like, “What’s this? A demon?” and get confused…
Gen X wouldn’t bat an eye.

Oh, a French devil…

When I first saw it, I thought, “What a name… sounds powerful.”

The deep bass sound was strongly associated with water-cooled Kawasaki GPZ\/ZZR\/ZX10\/RX models.
Looking at it now, it feels fresh. I wonder if it might come back around again? Maybe I’m the only one thinking that… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After 25 years, how about MUZZY?
Kawasaki = MUZZY is a pretty strong association. The sound is incredibly aggressive, which might be tough these days.
The simple logo and angular, mechanical bends might not get the spotlight again… or will they? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance & Hines has quite an impression of being a reverse-import brand that makes its way back to Japan.
Shiny and chrome \u2606 <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember seeing it pretty often back in the day. Recently it’s become a rare sight in Japan.

Carcar seems to be making noise again, so I’ll skip it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, the LASER muffler seems like it would appeal to enthusiasts. It’s got incredibly low brand recognition though… T always <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t you find yourself drawn to foreign product logos?
Well, playing it safe is better both when buying and selling…

I think very few people are clear about whether they want something because they actually want it or because it’s generally liked.
Do you go the safe route because you want people to say “that’s nice”? Or do you make a choice that makes you think “that’s really nice” when you look at it yourself? It’s up to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, motorcycle riders always think their own bike is the best. That’s only natural, I guess… it’s a hobby after all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
