There is also the Malossi 550cc kit you can spend your money on!!! Probably cheaper to buy a BMW C600.........
Then you'll need the Malossi valve kit and the valve seats machining to fit, and a gear-up kit and the lightened clutch bell, to put a 210cc kit on a 125cc 4 stroke engine with all the parts and labour it cost me more than £2000 including the engine. It's a slippery slope, to see any gain tuning a 4 stroke you have to throw alot of money at it, and then the gain is minimal.

I know someone who just put a 210 kit on a runner st without any other mods. It worked great.

It may work great, but to get the BEST results you need the rest aswell.

I'd want stock reliability as well. An Akra and a multivar 2000 are supposed to be reliable. Service is as often as the stock.
But only the above two are almost half a used supermotard with Akra already fitted.

I'd just put the pipe on and forget the multivar 2000, I must admit I loved the sound of Steve's Tmax with the Mivv pipe on

Was it "bassy"?
Also does the tmax need adjustments to run correctly after fitting it?

SteveM is the best one to ask about it.

The leo vince 4road is obviously for road use, but I could not find anything in that document about decibel limit only how the exhausts should be sold.
'One of the guys at work said...' that you can remove the baffle after certain amount of time from holding your license so long as you put it back on for MOT, which sounds like a complete misconception and utter bullshit biker rule.

We'll wait for his input then.

The MOT part sounds logical. The first parts sounds like BS.
