Akrapovič sport exhaust installation on BMW K 1600 GT

Is Akrapovič sport exhaust just a nice add-on for BMW K 1600 GT or does it do something more? What kind of sound does it make? Does it change the behavior of the bike? It was quite difficult to find these information online but I still decided to give it a try. Hence, let’s share some more information about it.

Exhausts are packed flawlessly. I haven’t checked if they are really 3.3kg lighter than the factory ones, but I could feel the difference by lifting them. Titanium and carbon finish are mint, simply Akrapovič quality.
