And here is how she looked at the end of the 2013 riding season, now with 73,000 miles on the clock. See and hear how she performs in the videos section <here>.

Dominating Performance - SuperTrapp Exhaust
I've had my SuperTrapp on this Kawasaki Ninja sportbike for seven years. We've covered 85,000 miles of the 91,500 on the odometer and have ridden with what would have to be about every other type of motorcycle on the market, from sportbikes, to exotics, to touring, to hyperbikes, to supersports. There are some really impressive 2015 superbikes that she's ridden with too. They're quick. They're agile. They're equipped with traction control, EFI, the best suspension money can buy and the latest designer exhaust systems. Though, none of them with SuperTrapp exhausts. That's important to note. They are a credit to their racing heritage and they are impressive when ridden to their potential.
She's been able to experience a wide variety of them and you want to known the one constant on street rides? Inevitably those other bikes either wither due to limitations in power efficiency or their riders do and she resumes her roll up front or they were never able to catch her in the first place, only seeing her up close again after we decide to stop for lunch or something.
With a range averaging over 240 miles on every stint, this is the SuperTrapp sporting bike that all other street bikes are measured against. It's just plain old fashioned two-wheeled fun. Granted, it's sandbagging of your opponents, but not really. They made their choice and I made mine. If they don't like seeing my bike leading theirs, that's a reflection on their choices...and it's a reflection on finding what works; SuperTrapp tunable exhaust flow technology.
If I had to sum up SuperTrapp exhaust systems in one word, it would be DOMINANT. Because that's the immediate result of tuning your exhaust to match your engine's airflow capabilities, then letting the results speak for themselves.
As I tell other riders, challenges are always welcomed. If fact, they're encouraged! :cool:

What could be better than owning a one of a kind motorcycle? 2016 update
I'm sure SuperTrapp would like nothing better than to have half the motorcycle fleet out there sporting their tuneable mufflers. But I have to tell you that I like having such a unique looking sportbike. One that garners attention after the ride for its dominating performance; speed to distance.
Best part is, most people don't give me or the ZX-9R any notice when they run across me out on the road or at the show-n-shine. Why would they, right! It's not a fuel injected liter or hyper-bike. It's old and carburetted. Perfect for sandbagging. :cool: Locals have learned though, as shocked as some of their reactions are. Most unknowing touring bikes will find they've met their match on range, from a sportbike! Other purpose built sport bikes will have difficulty running from it, even if they do so in the short term, which any more is in short supply. As the miles pile on, they'll find it impossible to keep up with it. UJMs, adventure, and exotic European bikes don't stand a chance when the roads become long and twisty. She not only runs away from them, but according to more riders than it could be just coincidence, they say it's a pleasure watching me ride away from them. Not all come back for more, but the ones that do say it is because they like watching it unfold. Sometimes that's a couple of corners and sometimes it takes hours, but the story is always the same: the green bike out front.
I'm very proud of how this bike puts on its dominating performances. I did my research. The ZX-9R was what matched what I wanted to do on two wheels and SuperTrapp was the most impressive muffler I could have possibly chosen, some 100,000 miles ago. ;) I could own a lot of other bikes, new or used. But nothing fits my personality better than the SuperTrapp equipped ZX-9R sE1, a bike equally at home riding across town, across the state or into the mountains to tilt some horizons.
No other two-wheeled machine can match it and the performance the muffler gives to my 9Rs has a lot to do with that.

One of my next goals for 2017 will be to clock off an Ironbutt 1,000 miles in a day ride. It won't be easy, but I want to knock a time out in dramatic fashion. Stay tuned.
