    Hi all.....
    I'm new to the world of bikes.....
    currently on L plates on my sinnis apache 125 shitbox....
    I have also got a Triumph 955 rs 2001 ready for when I pass......
    it is currently standard and I want to upgrade the exhaust as it looks disgusting....
    any one got any advice on what to get?
    Thanks

    Hi there,
    A few more details may be helpful?
    Did you want a full system or just the rear?
    Noisy or quieter?
    Ebay would be a great place to start as I suppose you don’t want a £1.5k full yoshi/akrapovic exhaust?
    Welcome in btw!
    Is a leap to a 955 steep from a 125? No idea of biking history but you did say you were new to biking?

    Not looking to spending a fortune.... 1st bike so don't know how long I'll have it......
    probably just rear can, not too loud more to make the bike look smarter as the original is horrible.
    I've been riding on road for 1yr but have had field bikes in the past.
    I've been driving for 20+ years so road sence is good ,still learning on the bike side of road riding.....
    Covid slowed my mod 1 down....
    Hopefully get it sorted soon.....

    Welcome to the family. Wouldn't touch the bike till you are sure its a keeper as if you sell you will not recoup the expense. And as has been said earlier it's a big leap. Don't get caught out.

    Hi and welcome to the forum.
    The 955 RS is a great bike - not a bad first "big bike" at all.
    Keep the original exhaust for when you sell the bike - originality is best when selling. :cool:
