The new hotness didn't meet japanese noise restrictions. Solution, JB Weld an additional can to the existing exhaust and hang it off the side, stick a bigger plastic clutch over-cover and restrict it to 135hp.

Photo from Asphalandrubber seems a bit photo-shoppy, but they don't usually get it wrong.

Another image of it:





Yeah... I dont know why they had to change the clutch cover... but I'm guessing that you'll be able to pretty easily revert it back to the correct looks barring that.  If not I cant see pani's really selling in the jpn market at all.

The affluent Japanese clamor for anything exotic.

I don't see why the Panigale would be any different.

They will just clamor for the Termi kit as well.

Looks like that clutch cover (and then some) just bolts over and would be easy to remove

Woof!  That's awful.  boo

Any why restrict it to 135hp?  Might as well buy an 848.

Total BS. Japan's Zero Engineering custom built bikes are much louder.

Easy solution.  Don't officially sell them there.  The black market will take off like crazy.   Evil Evil

I think that's apples and oranges.  Zero Eng does make [EDIT: does NOT make] production motorcycles (unless I missed a press release or two along the way).  Selling a custom bike based on a 50 year old HD flathead is bound to be in a different category.
