Spotted one on Evgeny Bobryshev's bike a few weeks ago here in California, but had to bite my tongue a little until this came out. So cool to see FMF with the Factory Honda effort in the GPs.

Oh come on...
I might go out on a limb here but the blue-anodized FMF pipes really looks like shit compared to the Italian made Termignoni... Dry

I agree with my Swedish neighbor. I would take the Termignoni exhaust over the FMF one!

I'll tell you the mechanics are stoked... because the FMF fits! Unlike the Termignoni... Blush Whistling

And the riders are happy too...

Haha that is probably true! I just think the FMF pipes are "boring" and the blue cans are not that pretty on a factory Honda.

Thumbs down from me, makes the bike look more Customer than Factory. Termignoni the same as the motogp boys use on the HRC honda's.

I think they look sharp, and stand out in a positive way without taking anything away from big red.

No way! Italian made equipment that doesn't have good QC?

Missed this thread. Thought you where going to post it in social scoop. Kind of cool. HRC Honda have been with Termignoni for a while, both in MotoGP and MXGP.

MXGP for 2013-15, prior to that (Martin Honda days) was Arrow... Can't remember how far back that goes though. I know in 2008 and 2009 they used Akrapovic.

Yes, they were Acrapovic with Pichon from 04. CAS Honda used Leo Vince. Leo Vince was also the exhaust that came stock with the 11 edition models.

The Japanese Factory Honda team used de-stickered FMF pipes all last year didn't they? Is that the reason for the GP team now going to them too? Making it easier to share info and all that?

Narita used Yoshimura without logos. They used to have Mugen in the past with no logos.

I had a quick search, it was 2014. Pretty sure they're FMF with no stickers aren't they? That's Narita's bike.
