motorcycles are just too good to let go. We’re talking bikes
that were right when they were first introduced and haven’t
lost any of their magic over the years. Bikes like the CB400F, the
KZ900 and 1000, the V-Max, the GPZ550 and 750. Kerker was there when
these machines were in their heyday, and Kerker’s there today
with up-to-date exhausts allowing these classics to perform at their
finest. The Kerker Meg Series, K-Series and Performance Series exhausts
have this classic world covered, and as a bonus some of these timeless
exhausts are also available for a few modern-era classics, machines
paying homage to what’s come before. Kerker calls all this “fine
wine,” and it’s an apt description—some things get
better with age.
The K-Series exhaust is available in three finishes, white
tip, black or chrome. Adjustable downturn tips also are available.
Kerker’s megaphone exhaust is a timeless 4-into-1 design
that are available in classic black-painted steel, brushed stainless
steel or chrome.
Talk about classic. Kerker’s megaphone
exhaust is as classic as the bikes it’s made for. These timeless
4-into-1s uncork the power a performance machine’s capable of,
and well they should. These megs are race-tuned and race-tested. This
is the exhaust used by legends like Eddie Lawson and Wayne Rainey
as they hustled their big Kawasakis to Superbike superstar status.
Kerker Megs are available today, offered in the classic black-painted
steel design, brushed stainless steel, or chrome. The application
list is heavily weighted towards that Kawasaki camp, with systems
available for machines dating clear back to the ’70s. And, of
course, there are classic Kerker Megs for those modern-day Lawson
Replica ZRX1100s and 1200s. There’s a Kerker Meg for one of
the all-time-favorite Hondas, too, the CB750F, and all these pipes
work like gangbusters—just like they always have. A Kerker Meg
matches stock performance at low RPM, comes into its own at the mid-range,
and peaks at more than 10 horsepower over stock at the top-end, sounding
great all the way. Awesome.
Kerker says the “K” in this exhaust’s name stands
for kick ass, and they’re not kidding. K-Series pipes are available
for classic Hondas like the CB400F and V65 Magna, vintage Kawasakis
like the GPZ550 and GPZ750 and there are K-Series pipes for the Yamaha
V-Max, as well. They all help pump out up to a 12 percent increase
in horsepower, and cut 10 to 25 pounds off the weight of the bike,
improving cornering clearance in the process. K-Series systems are
available in three finishes, too: white tip, black or chrome, and
most models include adjustable turndown tips. Most systems retain
unobstructed filter access and use of the stock centerstand, too.
These beautifully finished 4-into-1s are a perfect match for a classic
sportbike.
Kerker’s K-Series exhaust helps pump up a horsepower
increase of 12 percent while cutting the bike’s total weight
by 10 to 25 pounds.
Here’s where classic meets contemporary. Kerker Performance
Series slip-ons and full systems neatly fit the best of the past into
a modern, high-performance role. There’s a trio of canister
options here, too. Performance Series silencers are available in brushed
aluminum, karbon fiber and titanium, and they’re offered in
elliptical or oval shapes, too. Performance Series exhausts are available
for all the hot new Hondas, Kawasakis, Suzukis and Yamahas, future
classics like the GSXRs, YZFs, CBRs, ZXs and ZRXs. There’s even
a special gold-anodized titanium system developed especially for the
ZRX1200.
Available in elliptical or oval shapes, the Performance Series
silencers are available in brushed aluminum, karbon fiber and titanium.
Some bikes are just too good to let
go, and some bikes are destined to attain that status. Either way,
Kerker’s got the exhaust for it—just like always. Check

extreme” takes sportbike riding to a new level, and we can thank
the StarBoyz, that band of Ohio wildmen/stunt riders, for that. “StarBoyz
By Kerker” silencers are exactly what’s needed for this
kind of wheel-standing/donut-spinning/trick-riding fun, too, and well
it should be; Kerker developed these canisters in conjunction with
the StarBoyz themselves.
Shorter-than-stock, these slip-ons won’t
touch down when the bike goes up. There’s a rude, in-your-face,
street-smart tone to these cans, too, an extreme exhaust note to go
with that extreme riding. Of course the overall look is tailored to
street-extreme—it’s sportbike flash, with polished stainless
steel tips and those tips are even rolled to the inside for a beefy
look. Kerker’s finished it off with a bright and bold StarBoyz/Kerker
logo.
StarBoyz silencers fit all the right
bikes, the GSXR600s, 750s and 1000s, Honda’s CBR600, 900 and
954, and the Yamaha YZF R1 and R6. They’re available in a couple
of versions, too, a round 18-inch can in either aluminum or karbon
fiber, or a cut-down 16-inch elliptical version, also offered in aluminum
or karbon fiber.
Street-extreme is exciting stuff, and
these Kerkers help make it happen. Parts Unlimited has them all in
stock, ready to go.
StarBoyz silencers are available in a round 18-inch can or
a cut-down 16-inch elliptical can, both in either aluminum or karbon
fiber.
