Field trip to the NC Mountains

Nice pictures. With the exhaust do you see the need for remapping the ECU or it's adapted well with the standard setup

Thanks, The bike currently has 1600 miles of which 900 of those have been with the full exhaust and i can honestly say that there's no noticeable difference on the bikes acceleration, nor have I encountered any hiccups compared to before the exhaust went on, so yes i would say that the ECU has adapted to the full exhaust

LarryG..... How have you found the fuel mileage during the trip... Looks to be a good mix of road types

The mileage seems to keep getting better and better, last time i filled her up (Yesterday) it gave me a range of 206 miles to the tank, compared to the 175 that i used to get me when i first picked up the bike.
I'm sure some of it has to do with the mileage on the bike and the fact that its probably almost broken in by now with 1600 miles, might also have to do with the exhaust but couldn't say for sure

Im VERY jealous. Enjoy it for all of us!

That's the plan, I rode the Speed Triple today, but barring good weather, I'll be on the Busa tomorrow, I plan on hitting Tenn by way of the Dragon and back into NC on the Cherohala Skyway

so fair to say you like the results... i know sports bikes have smaller tanks and can get from A to B faster but when touring range rules .. i used to hate stopping every 100-120 miles on 1k bikes when the Gen 1 and 2 Busa's could get 160-200... makes some difference to a days riding and route planning.
I'm like you and gradually getting better mileage per tank...loving it and its easy to forget the size of the bike at times, just goes so well.
