ZARD Full Exhaust for Ducati Monster 1100

desmoworks · November 22, 2009, 01:10:08 PM

Here are some preliminary images and some info... systems will be shipped to us around the start of the year.

We plan to carry them with stainless collectors and carbon silencers or titanium collectors and carbon silencers. Both will have the option of carbon end caps as shown. In the images the collectors are titanium and silencers are aluminum.

Price for stainless/carbon is $1999 and titanium/carbon is $2880.

I'd love to hear some opinions on this exhaust...

they follow the lines PERFECTLY IMO. Great work. My only suggestion would be make a full system that doesn't route the front exhaust over the clutch but instead underneath like you know who has them. For me personally, although I'm not buying an 1100 anytime soon, I'd like to have that option.

I didn't think you could make that bike uglier, but there you have it.

i love zards, but thats

i have to say... i strongly dislike this exhaust.

Price isn't bad for a full system, is it?
It adds to the modern lines of the 1100.
You're going to sell to quite a few people

(I'm not one of them, but that's not the point

)

Def. different...

it is unbelievably the price of motorcycle exhausts; for $3,000 i could have a complete set of custom burns stainless steel turbo headers. *shakes head*...

sorry for my soap box

Wow, I like them!

But they are pricier than Termignoni and still need a PCV.

Termis retail for $2837.80 for stainless/carbon - these are $1999... how did you get that these are more expensive? Termis are over $800 more expensive.

Correct about the PCV or similar devise.

I love dealing with ZARD exhausts as they polarize people... almost nobody is indifferent; people either love or hate their exhausts.

Thanks for the feedback - keep it coming!

If I had of bought the 1100 this would have been the exhaust for me.
I love the angles and hard lines it has.

p.s. I also like the colours of the bike it's on, got any more pics of it?

There are a couple more images of the bike from the images I took while at EICMA in Milan.

This would look much better.

Those are the slip-ons for the Monster 696/1100. We have them in stock now, but with stainless tips. ZARD is going to be offering carbon tip kits so we can switch out the stainless. They look much better in carbon IMO and the quality of the carbon is fantastic!
