    They definitely get good reviews

    My impression is based solely on looking at / sitting on the NCX sitting right next to the CBX in the local dealership - very superficial

    It looks verry pretty amongst the leaves, the KTM muffler really picks up the light

    I was just commenting on the nice looking bike Happy, I just got mixed from the pic that the muffler came out of the factory on Mon/Tue run, not the Thu/Fri run :D

    Well depending on where I go today, I need to decide which bike to take.

    Both bikes are 2014 models, (within 20 VINs of each other), my Level 1 was built in September 2015 and the Level 3 donor bike I purchased used this year and built a couple of weeks ago.

    I was very lucky with the security bolts that a 1/2 inch drive T40 Torx (not 45) just drove them straight out, 30 seconds each.

    Today was better than the last couple of days, the PR4's on the Level 1 turn quite differently. Different lines at this stage
