New Micron GP-Sport silencers for Hayabusa '08 and Delta Sport end-can for GSX650F

British brand has announced twin silencers for Suzuki's recently launched models

Micron has announced twin silencers for Suzuki's recently launched GSX1300R Hayabusa and a new Delta Sport end-can for the brand new sportster GSX650F. The GP-Sport silencers are, says Micron, the first in a new wave of Hydroformed products designed and manufactured specifically for the bikes on which they appear.

Micron is calling the new style GP-Sport, and the products feature greater capacity, improved gas flow and carbon end-caps. The twin, E-marked silencers fit directly on to the original Hayabusa pipework and feature removable baffles. They offer a weight saving of 8.2kg over the original silencers.

"The reason that these new GP-Sport silencer look so good on the new Hayabusa is that they were designed specifically for the bike," commented Micron's brand manager, Arthur Macdonald. "It's something that our sophisticated CAD systems and Hydroforming manufacturing process allow us to do and we'll be introducing more GP-Sport products on important 2008 models in the coming weeks.

The new Hayabusa maintains the extraordinary performance of its predecessor," he added, "and these new GP-Sport end-cans improve considerably the overall looks of this bike, while taking nothing away from that truly astonishing performance."

Macdonald concluded: "The Hayabusa's engine is used, of course, in Suzuki's other big 2007 launch, the B-King. We're planning to unveil soon a remarkable solution for that bike's much talked-about exhaust."

GP-Sport silencers for the Suzuki GSX1300R Haybusa will retail at a recommended price of £632 inc VAT for the polished steel and black finishes, and £532 for the satin finish.

Tested for the first time by journalists last month, Micron launches a new Delta Sport end-can for Suzuki's GSX650F. The recently-launched, entry-level sports bike has been received with great acclaim by the motorcycle press and Micron has given the bike even greater credibility with its new slip-on silencer.

Available in two finishes - titanium with ceramic black end-cap or stainless steel - Micron's Delta Sport silencer comes complete with connecting pipe and, at a combined weight of 3.3kg, weighs less than half the amount of the standard silencer and connector.

The Delta Sport delivers a healthy boost in power in the new GSX650F's mid-range and this increases to an impressive 4bhp lift above the standard bike's power output figure up to maximum revs.

"This is a fantastic new bike," said Arthur Macdonald, "and it represents remarkable value. The new Delta Sport silencer finishes it off beautifully and turns it into a ‘proper' sports bike."

The recommended retail price for the stainless steel finish Delta Sport (RMS78/OA) for Suzuki's 2008 GSX650F is £249.99 including VAT. The titanium option (RMS78/OT), meanwhile, will cost £324.99.
