If you own a Ducati Panigale V4, chances are you might have swapped out the standard exhaust in exchange for a performance-oriented exhaust system.

However, if you are in the market to search for a new one, you are in luck as Termignoni has just dropped the D200 full titanium twin-pipe exhaust system.

The D200 offers the proper bump in performance and sound, including substantial weight reduction, and creates a whole new aesthetic of the Panigale V4 by replacing the stock underbelly exhaust with an under tail setup.

The full-kit features titanium headers, titanium RHT silencers with carbon fibre end-caps, heat shields, brackets, ‘ Limited Edition’ plate, and (lasered) Titanium wording.

However, do not that the new D200 titanium exhaust system is only for track-use; therefore, they are not street-legal.

The Termignoni D200 titanium exhaust is available for EUR6,344 (RM31.2l).

As confirmed by patent photos, QJ Motor, the sister company to Benelli, is expected to launch the QJ7000D electric motorcycle in the next few months.

Rated at 7kW, thus the name QJ7000D will put the new electric motorcycle on par with a gas-powered 125cc with QJMotor claimed puts out 13.4hp.

The motorcycle was first unveiled as a prototype at the 2021 Beijing Motor Show and what caught our attention is the visible storage unit underneath the tank.

Looking back at the patent photos, QJ decided to continue with the same feature on the production bike.

It also features a ‘floating’ rider and pillion seat, with no bracket attached to the tail. Other features include a single front disc setup with an upside-down fork and clip-on handlebars.

Meanwhile, despite an offer as an electric motorcycle, the QJ7000D is equipped with a conventional manual transmission.

Moving on to the important bits, QJ Motor claimed a top speed of 104km/h and a range of 96km, making it a suitable e-bike for city roads.

Moto Guzzi has teamed up with American footwear company, Timberland, to produce a series of collections to celebrate the Italian company 100th anniversary.

The collection includes Moto Guzzi X Timberland Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot, Moto Guzzi X Earthkeepers Boot, leather jacket, half zip hoodie, a long sleeve tee and selvedge denim pants.

However, the Waterproof Winter Extreme Gore-Tex Super Race Boot caught our attention as it remarkably features the Mandello iconic colour scheme of black and red.

It also offers ample ankle support with high top construction, while the Vibram rubber sole provides a better grip.

The Super Race boots are available via Timberland.com at USD332 (RM1.3k). By the way, we took a look at Timberland Malaysia, and the collection is yet to be made available. (not sure it ever will, though).

Moto Guzzi V7 has emerged as the best selling (over 700cc motorcycle) in Italy for the month of August.

With over 213 units delivered to customers, the V7 outperform its Japanese, German and other Italian competitors.

The achievement is deserving for Moto Guzzi, as the Mandello-brand celebrates its hundred years of history.

The V7 is currently available in two variants, Stone and Special, with both equipped with a new 850cc that delivers 65hp @ 6,800rpm and 73Nm @ 5,000rpm.

The new generation of V7 was presented earlier this year with a completely revised engine and featured more comfortable riding ergonomics and a powerful motor without losing the Guzzi DNA.

Yamaha best-selling model to date, the MT-07, was given an extensive upgrade for 2021, including a new bodywork and a revised 689cc parallel-twin motor.

Thanks to a 270-degree crankshaft, the MT-07 delivers a similar exhaust note of a V-Twin configuration. This also resulted in owners seeking aftermarket exhaust to amplify the sound and increase power delivery.

Italian exhaust manufacturer SC-Project has just introduced a new Euro5 compliant SC1-S full system for the 2021 MT-07.

Interestingly, while SC-Project has a reputation for producing a downright obnoxious exhaust sound, the SC1-S offers just the right balance between socially acceptable and loud.

According to the company, the SC1-S uses a two-into-one arrangement mated to a slip-on exhaust at the end.

Frankly, not only does the exhaust look sleek, but it also increases the overall ‘badass’ element of the MT-07 compared to the stock underbelly exhaust. More importantly, it sounds better than the stock, especially at a higher rev range.

Moving on to the price, the new SC1-S is available for USD1,733 (RM7.1k).

The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX received an extensive update in 2020 with a revised engine to meet the Euro5 homologation, new 6-axis Bosch IMU and ride-by-wire technology.

However, Team Green decided to offer a host of updates for the 2022 Ninja 1000SX.

The 4th-generation Ninja 1000SX now features a four-in-one exhaust, new aerodynamic fairing, radial-mount front brake-callipers, horizontal back-link suspension and a revised quickshifter as standard.

Kawasaki also increased the level of comfort with a plushier seat and extra adjustment for the windshield to optimize airflow.

The new Ninja 1000SX also features new 56-litre luggage, enough to accommodate riders and pillion belongings.

 

Other exciting features include:

  • electronic cruise control
  • integrated power mods
  • cornering management function
  • KTRC traction control
  • supersport-level ABS
  • Kawasaki Rideology app
  • TFT display

According to Kawasaki, the new Ninja 1000SX is available in Emerald Blazed Green and Metallic Matte Graphenesteel Gray.
