hello, im using one on a race rapido 200 , it works well , pulls an honest 70 to 75 flat out but sits nice at 60 for long spells.its smooth and well made, only down side is its LOUD ,

Have you got one of the first batch? The latest ones are said to be much quieter...

Regards the Loud bit, me mate has just put the latest one on his Casa 210 and had it dynod at Diablos ready for his departure for Davos yesterday and that is very loud. I think it may even be louder than his riding partners TS1 with a Gori.

I use one with a Rapido Classic 225. Mine's one of the first batch and they are loud but tbh I have got used to it now. I love it for touring, got loads of torque right through the range, cruises nicely at 60 with lots left if I need it.

no idea which batch, only have it a couple of months though, as loud as a gori and about the same performance wise to be honest, but a good sturdy pipe and i like the idea of a stub type fitting, looks great ,but needs to be quieter in my opinion,

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy an AF clubman as they perform just as well.

So the Ancillotti performs as well as the BGM and AF performs as well as the ancillotti!
So we can all keep useing our AF clubmans and save a fortune by not buying the over hyped and noisy MBGM clubmans! Fantastic!
Makes you wonder why Broadhurst and Scooter Center wasted so much time and energy developing a far more expensive product that doesn't perform any better than what was already on the market ;) :D
