Great looking clean NT.

When I bought my 2008 NT it had the same exhaust, which I liked, but it had no O2 sensor ports and the previous owner just snipped the wires - I have O2 sensors with the new exhaust.

The ride up to cairns and surrounding areas is a top ride if you have the spare time. Up the gillies range and out to the tablelands is just awesome
