    I'm happy with the Yoshimura. The race version which is on my bike seems to be about as good as any pipe made for the 1150. I don't love the tiny canister, but I won't sacrifice performance for a pretty muffler. As for oil changes, meh. It takes all of ten extra minutes to drop the pipe.

      I have had both on a 1000... had to lean off the carbs for the V&H so can only assume that the Yosh produces more oomph. The noise was better too.

        Definitely not a quiet pipe. I love it.
