I have just had my Learner Legal Virago serviced and am told I need a new exhaust as mine is rotten - but where do you get them cheap? Kwik Fit don't do bike exhausts and the only ones I can find on the Internet are £300 plus noisey pipes

Now I am not against noisey pipes it is the £300 bit that gets me, that is over a third of what I paid for the bike!

Anyone know where I can get a cheap exhaust for a Yamaha XV125 Virago?

Cheers
Graham - new to bikes and falling off, but getting used to both!

I might be able to source a standard replacement. I will check my sources at the weekend and get back to you.

which part do you need? the can or the pipes or the headerS?

Cheers

It is a V twin bike so I think I need both cans and the downpipes - everywhere else seems to list it as a complete set

Know the feeling.

I wanted Termis & chip etc for the Multistrada but at £800 it might just not happen.

Ducati are now offering the Multistrada with either the comfort pack, i.e. gel seat and panniers or the sports pack which is the Termis, chip and c/f front mudguard and hugger.

My mate picked his up a couple of weeks ago, the Termis sound nice, deeper but not piss takingly loud. He reckons it pulls much better lower down compared to the stock exhaust as well.

Mines six months old now so I missed out on the offer.

I was thinking of termis and panniers for the odd touring trip at £500.

So If I add £800 to say £500, am I better changing the bike for a BMW or Trumpet Sprint, where you can get these fitted as part of any deal?

Is spending £1,300 on a six month old bike a waste of money?

Really fancy a better sounding bike and don't tend to keep bikes or cars for long anyway.
