I've got one and when ye slowing down it pops & crackles just beautiful sound 😊
Love it! Makes you smile :)
Nice vid . Thx
The akra does sound great and I'm all for louder pipes save lives, but on the GS i'm maybe not so sure, these bikes are mostly for touring around the EU and some of these countries are getting really strict about the loudness of a bike, don't get me wrong its not a decat sports bike by any means, but im not sure its actually worth the extra £900 on a GS
Love the look of the Akra, the sound is okay, the cost is ugh!
Agree! I got a chance to get it second hand for reasonable price 🙂
The original sounds and looks even better.
It is definitely sounding good even as original!
Original seems better in any case and the best: it‘s already included and installed on the bike! :D
The extra money on Akra can be used for travel 😄
Is it worth it? - that would be a resounding Yes! 🙂
Basically the same weight. On a big bike like the GS, I wouldn’t be worried about that, lol
Agree! I was curious to see the difference, but it is not a factor at all for the GS. Not sure if you also change the headers to the Akrapovic version
Sounds almost the same to me except some more grunt note from the akra. OEM with the Rallye model so I would assume same loudness level of noise to comply with Euro 5. Looks good, but not worth the money imo.
Yeah the stock is quite good as well once you compare them. The video may not capture it super well, but the Akra has a bit of that “braaap” enduro bike sound to it 😄
Hey, question for you:
I see you have pegs in your fuel ring for a tank bag, but I don’t recognize the mounting system. What bag do you put on it?
Yep! So this is for the Shad E-04P tank bag. Now I am not sure I would recommend it as the mounting screws may be dangerous if you are offroading without it.
Bought black Akra and went for a ride. I came back, let it get cooler and took if off and installed the OEM again. Too much noise for me. Eaven with the OEM I ride with earplugs on highway. I’m probably too sensitive😂
Fair callout - at least it is important that you tried for yourself 😁
For $1500 USD? If I’ve got money to burn, sure why not. But I don’t, so mine is still stock! My Mosko Moto panniers offer far more utility for the money!
Indeed it is quite pricey. I got this one as second handed for $600
What is the performance benefit beyond the sound enhance?
Have not measured it on dyno, but anecdotal feeling is better. Well it could also be just the sound making me giving it more throttle 😄
I subscribed to MOTORRAD magazine for over a decade. They used to test five or more aftermarket exhausts and compared then to the stock unit. No gains worth talking about and in most cases it was worse. Not by much. They stopped doing those tests probably due to the manufacturers advertizing with them.
Hola, que retrovisores llevas?
Hola Miguel, en este vídeo eran originales BMW Opción 719 para la GS. Ahora uso espejos Double Take porque son más adecuados para todo terreno.
Грешни пари 💸
Can you remove the baffles?
Yup, once you remove the carbon cover, there are two spot welds that need grinding and you can. I believe there was a video on it.
Its better to give the original muffler for conversion de cat
Didn't consider that, may give it a try and compare how they sound!
Старото продава ли се ?
Ще измислим нещо 😄
Night and day difference
It’s been a while now and I definitely love it! 🎵
Standard sounds better
no need
No
My theory with almost 50 years in motorcycling, riders love to bling up their motorcycles and when there is nothing left to buy, they sell it and start all over again. What a waste of money and time. I guess to them motorcycling isn't about riding. I on the other hand have been places.
Cool. Let people enjoy whatever they enjoy. Be happy doing your stuff, they'll do the same.
@@ronhonhonhanhi There are riders and there are poseurs.
they are so far overpriced
The black Akra is better
