I believe it is every 1125R owners responsibility to try and improve its looks ...though 500 euros including paint for a new one is not going to happen. |

What have you done with the 'new' Maz. Have you tried him up and slipped back into the driving seat ![]() |

That chinny reckon looks far better than the 'fairing lowers' which appear to have been designed by Armitage Shanks... |

One good thing about the original exhausts is that they "fit" the space beneath the bike, a lot of the aftermarket exhausts just don't hang right and don't follow the line of the bike leaving unsightly gaps.If only the original had been stainless ![]() |

Totally agree on the exhaust and the side fairings ... I do think looks wise the original exhaust is an integral part of the design and once changed it needs something else there to fill the space. I added the lower factory fairing but it still looks unfinished in my opinion because the factory lowers were designed to go with the original exhaust to fill the void. Now I have lived with the bike and the looks of it I am appreciating the original design more and think the bulbous nose suits the bulbous pods and once you mess with these you mess with how the design flows. I generaly change my bikes every year and then end up modding them as per whichever forums and get rid once they are finished. I think it says a lot about the 1125R that I have no plans to change it to my next bike, an MV Agusta F3 Reparto Corse anytime soon. With the above in mind I wouldn't mind getting hold of the above chin spoiler if nobody else has any complaints? |

Form/ function is always a compromise, some learn further one way or the other. As long as the form does not impact on the function, fill your boots I say.
