A quick update from John - he collected the UK demo bike earlier today from Scorpion Racing, complete with the production 2019-specific exhaust (pn.
RRP-738), which on the 2019 model actually saves a little more weight than before (as the 2019 OEM silencer is slightly heavier than the 2016-18 version).


The 2019 specific exhaust saves just over 4lbs (1.85Kg) compared to the stock item; and like all Scorpion exhausts benefits from the 50% damage guarantee from Scorpion themselves (if you damage the exhaust they will exchange it for 50% of the cost of a new one, plus shipping at your cost).
Not only does it save a significant amount of weight, but it is also far less bulky and physically large compared to the OEM silencer - offering more heel clearance and making it far more appropriate for off-road use; while the exit itself is angled rearwards to provide plenty of clearance for soft luggage above.
