Yoshimura's R1 Exhausts for 2009-2010 Yamaha Now Available

Chino, Calif. - March 31, 2010 - Yoshimura exhaust systems are built with cutting edge technology. Where tubes used to be cut with hacksaws and bent by hand over a torch, now CNC cut-off saws accurately cut pipes to length while multi-level CNC tube benders shape pipes to exact specifications with cassette tooling changing on one station. Despite all this high-tech equipment, Yoshimura pipes are still welded by hand. All the high-tech gadgets in the world can't replace a master craftsman's skills. The combination of high tech and old world craftsmanship is what gives our customers the quality and incredible performance Yoshimura's R&D; customers expect.
