That was a long 'un.. I really did take all four exhausts out for a spin in one day so I could be consistent in my sound recording of each one. I'm not claiming that my sounds recording are of the highest quality... just consistent!
I did this for no other reason than to give you folks a little gift from me (whether you wanted it or not 😂) for putting up with all of this exhaust nonsense!
The sound of the Akra is better than I hoped, and I might even come to like the looks one day... 😊

I put the OEM and Akrapovic exhaust time stamps for comparison. I left out the 2 exhausts without the dB killer. I did this for my own benefit because I ordered the 2023 r1250r with the Akrapovic. In Australia, the Akrapovic is $1700 if you buy it as an aftermarket item!! But if you purchase it pre- fitted by BMW, it is $400 cheaper. Oem Exhaust 1:48 Akrapovic Exhaust 6:12 I appreciate all your videos Ricky. Cheers

I’m with you on this mate, about to receive my new black R1250R, I ordered it with the standard exhaust because I don’t like the look of the Akra. What made a huge difference on my 2009 R1200R was adding Arrow headers to the factory-fitted Akra can. Felt and sounded like a different bike. UPDATE: I now have my 2023 R1250R triple black, I put an Arrow muffler on it, sounds good and runs well. Video over on my channel.

I'd say this sounds great! Lovely bass and raspy top end. Really brings out that boxer sound in my opinion. Which is either a good or bad thing depending on your preference, but I think you like it. What I really enjoy about the factory Akrapovic on my previous gen R is all the pops and burbles on decelerations and downshifts when the throttle map is in Dynamic mode. It's very talkative and stupidly fun. Love blipping down with the quickshifter all the way down to 1st before a hairpin corner and hear the exhaust scream and gurgle. And the nice thing is, in Road mode, the pops and crackles all but disappear, making the ride more gentlemanly for in town if I feel like it. Now I am no hooligan, but mostly I don't feel like turning off the pops, they are just so much fun. What's your experience with the different cans, but especially this one when it comes to deceleration and aggressive downshifts with the quickshifter?

@RikkyTang Жыл бұрын
Yes you're right the Akra does sound pretty good for a road legal can! Bassier than I expected and I put that down to the larger internal volume of this compared to the smaller cnas with db killers fitted. Sadly the bike never burbles very much even with the louder cans on; but I'll try to listen out for it more when I'm out next 😊

The Akrapovic adds a boost of 5.4 horsepower and 4.7 NM of torque both at 3650 rpm which I think is fantastic.

@@esauruiz6125 For the end can only, no need to remap. If you fit the Akra headers too then a remap is recommended. The original comment from Bonwana is actually a little incorrect - the Nm torque figure is good but the HP gain is 2.4 according to the Akra website (just for the end can)

No it's pretty much cosmetic unless you get into ECU flashing and dect pipes etc., which I'm not (currently!) interested in. I'm not sure what you mean about the bracket... I think I followed the instructions properly and it seemed that it was the bracket that was at fault. The RS and the R are identical at the rear as far as I know!

Another great video . Appreciate your time to remove and install 4 exhausts and record in one day. The bike may have felt a bit lumpy but possibly, the ECU adjusted , hence why it may seemed smoother at the end of the ride? Akra. looks and sounds fantastic, Maybe consider a possible remap? If you do, consider contacting either JCT 33 Developments and/or Crowe Performance who maybe able to advise. Enjoy your Akra. burble.👍🏍

How easy is that Akrapovic to fit and secure? Would really like to *finally* get that same one (since the brushed titanium is apparently no more) on my R1250R this summer. I’ve never bothered with aftermarket slip-ons on any of my other bikes, though, so not clear on what the difficulty level is for those of us who don’t do much wrenching.
@RikkyTang
@RikkyTang Жыл бұрын
This is nice and easy pbofan 😊 It's a low difficulty level as long as the exhaust comes with the proper fittings (and there aren't many pieces to this). Just make sure you wipe down the exhaust and link pipe with WD40 or Isopropyl alcohol before you start the bike, otherwise you risk burning fingerprint marks into the metal finish.

I think the brushed was available in the UK for a while (could be wrong) but nowadays only the brushed one is available... think I prefer the black one too. I think the because it's a naked bike and not the first choice for long distance, it makes great sense as a second bike to have some local fun with! I've had an S1000R already - a 2019 Sport but I realised that it didn't have enough low-midrange torque for me! The Tuono is always tempting but I seriously think I would lose my licence if I owned one so that holds me back!! Can't afford to lose my licence and at the same time I haven't got the will power to ride a fast bike slowly 😂
