My half a shilling's worth of opinion here is that I agree completely. While I usually think otherwise (some of the K16 bunch go so far as to prefer one brand of exhaust over another, just because of the number of holes at the end of the can), here, the unequal number of cylinders, plus the gorgeous design of the stock exhaust's appearance, with two on one side and one on the other, makes me want to preserve that just as a design element. Now, that said, despite hating truly loud pipes, do I think the stock system needs a bit more tone, attitude, and "bark" when the throttle is hammered hard? Definitely. But I'd like an aftermarket choice that preserves at least much of the stock LOOK, unless you go "mini-thruxton" with the look of each of the 3 cans, and even then, 2 on one side and one on the other. And on that last, the mini-Thrux pipes would give the whole bike just a tad more classic/vintage look, IMO.
