Here's one: leave your exhaust system stock and if you perfect your riding technique enough that you actually
need more power on public roads , get a ZX10R.
The plusses:
Fewer tickets
The freedom to roll around town without attracting unwanted LEO attention
Neighbors that don't hate your guts
Motorcyclists in general look less like a gaggle of inconsiderate primadonnas with more testosterone than brains.
The minuses:
About 1.5 hp at 10,000 rpm, which is offset by the increased low-end afforded by the OEM setup.
Once an old racer told me "Mr. Kawasaki knows a LOT more about fluid-dynamics and horsepower than Mister K or Mister N.
