I'm pretty new to this biking game... I passed my mod 2 last week having done my CBT last October. I got an 08-reg XT660Z on Monday and I'm loving it. I've been riding a WR125R for the last 8 months and the XT is a refreshing change.

Whilst searching for an XT I was lucky to test ride one with some Leo Vince cans on and it sounded tremendous - I didn't buy that one though as I didn't like the colour (blue). Leo Vince cans will be my first mod, as soon as I can afford it. I assume there will be no MoT test problems with these fitted?

Thanks to all of you for this great resource, I've been reading lots already.

Good morning and welcome to the site - hope you enjoy the bike and site.
Cant help re the question about the exhaust but my guess is that they would be ok.

Hi there!

Before you shell out a packet on your Leo Vince, please take in consideration the MTC Exhausts which are sponsored by us and sold to our members with a 10% discount, you can find all the different models and prices we offer on this link:

Welcome mate hope you like the new bike. O' What was the wr125 like i may get one.

Thanks Mort :-)
The WR was an excellent bike, very light, agile and well balanced. My only gripe was lack of power (15bhp), but obviously that was necessary for me to be able to ride it legally as a learner in the UK. Even then, I could get over 60mph on the flat - eventually. Be aware that it's a rather tall bike with a seat height of 915mm. This is even taller than my XTZ and, although I'm 6'1", I couldn't put both feet flat on the floor so had the odd 'hairy moment' and did drop it more than once whilst stationary. Fortunately this only ever cracked the mirrors and they are pretty cheap at Wemoto (<�20). I think there are lower seat options available if you are not so tall.

Welcome Guzlr! Hope you have many happy years riding and enjoying the fun of a thumper

Thanks CaptMoto.

How do the MTC's compare to the Leo Vinces' in terms of sound? Do they have removable baffles? And what's the difference between the round, oval and tri-oval cans? Is it just aesthetic?

Sorry for all the questions.

Hello Guzlr

Nice bike..but whats wrong with BLUE :-)

Marc

Hi, yes they have removable baffles, sound compared to Leo Vince's you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart blind folded.

Oval, round or trioval, just aesthetics. yup!
