Z900RS. The Best Middleweight Retro Motorcycle. Some Assembly Required. 

I hate to admit it, but yes

The machine as a whole delivers power more smoothly up to 10500 rpm. I typically ride this bike pretty hard. Spending most of my time above 8,000 rpm. Although it has plenty of grunt through the mid-range. Keep in mind that I'm speaking about it now as a complete machine, not just the exhaust or the gearing or the flash or any of that in particular. But more has it works in concert. It actually feels like it has more mid-range grunts than it did before. The Quick Throttle gives the impression of that but on a Dyno it makes roughly the same power through the mid-range and then picks up significantly up top. As far as an A to B performance comparison, there's very little resemblance to how the motorcycle ran as stock. To answer your question about the exhaust, the Bronx Street mag full exhaust is just that, it's headers and a can. So it's not cheap it roughly hundred dollars. A Yoshimura header with the stock can would get you most of the results that that box would give you at a fraction of the price. I mainly wanted the look. It just so happens that exhaust system is also the best performing when it comes to making outright power. If I'm being honest I feel like this motorcycle should have come at this power from the factory. But as it sits with the modifications that I've been able to make to this bike it is a whole lot of fun on the street and given the type of writing that I do with it on the street it suits me perfectly

@@tractioncontroloff9796 As was I. I chose the Kawi because of the ergos and the upside once mods were considered. HOWEVER... it isnt cheap and if i were to have left both bikes stock... excluding asthetic mods... i may have given the nod yo the XSR.

@@bmasontv thank you for the response. The Kawi looks are what dreams are made of!
