My 2022 snicks into and out of gears as well as any motorcycle I've ever ridden. It's super smooth with ZERO clunk.

They sure look like the Emgo mufflers that came with my 850T when I purchased it used years ago. They look good sound good without being too loud and were relatively inexpensive. I have no idea if they are still available though.  John H

Talk you out of it? Ok.
Do you agree to dress like a ‘Power Ranger’ each and everytime you ride your premium BMW motorcycle?
Will you adhere to and conform to the ‘BMW Dress Code’ and their never wave policy?
Are you devoted to the BMW Engineering Program Policy of never showing emotion and only talking in ‘technical and/or ‘engineering’ terms no matter what?
Are you devoid of a ‘normal human personality’ and will you adhere to the BNW riders unified preprogrammed robotic speech and reply pattern.
Will you agree to make fun of every rider and their motorcycle behind the backs of anyone that doesn’t ride a BMW?
Do you solemnly swear to uphold the BMW superior attitude anytime a motorcycle or a motorcyclist is within earshot?
Do you swear your clothing allegiance to Shuberth for helmets and Kim or BMW logo apparel?
If not, get out now.!
Will you agree that the only good saddlebag and trunk systems are BMW supplied aluminum cases?
As a BMW owner/rider will you swear your total devotion, allegiance and adherence to the rules as set forth by the BMW Motorsports Owners Group.
Will you agree to ride standing on your pegs to allow blood flow to your buttocks? Again, if not, get out now.
Do you solemnly swear to never, ever, no not ever once utter the phrase: Loud Pipes Saves Lives? If you said it out loud reading this, get out, just get out!
Do you agree to always have at least one black ink pen and a sharpened #2 pencil in a pocket protector and on your person at all times? On and off your premier BMW motorcycle?
Do you solemnly swear to never get or allow a current tattoo, a piercing, or any other body modification (not even one related to BMW) to show while you’re in your ‘BMW Approved Riding Apparel’?
Failure to comply 100% to any of the above stated BMW Approved Behavior Patterns means you agree to stay away from your BMW for no less than 120 consecutive days and nights.
If you managed to come up with all that on your own, then  My cousin, who rides KTMs and participate on offroad rallies, have told stories of BMW GS riders that comply with your points. Those I have met out on the roads? Not so much, thankfully

I test rode a relatively clean K75 and quite enjoyed it. The rubber band type of sound from the engine was amusing. I quite fancied a K75S or the one with the low seat option (K75C?). Shortly after, I test rode a 900 Trident and the difference was immense - no contest and still my favourite bike of all, though a bit top heavy for me now. They did a Sprint version with top fairing.
Thank you for the report on the K100 above also! I used to own a Sprint 900 until I had a head-on encounter with a Volvo 240 trying to pass a car around a blind corner, completely blocking my way. To me, the Sprint was not unlike the way I see the K-series from BMW; very good tool, but not exciting. 20 years ago, that was a bad thing. Now I consider it a good thing. Perhaps I should start drinking and sort myself  I also mixed a Thunderbird 900 and a Daytona 900 into a Daybird. My brother has also owned several 900s, among them a late version Trophy. That was really difficult to work on due to the way the fairing was made and mounted. Apart from my Sprint and the Daybird, all the 900s I have tried vibrated too much, rapidly numbing my fingers. Same with the 955 Sprint I tested, which was even worse. Strangely, the vibrations hardly changed from idle onwards, they were omnipresent.

Sorry Huzo, all I meant was less clutch could be good on older hands that have arthritis rearing it’s ugly head.
I am not using an A/S to drag race or for track days, I do neither of those, at least not anymore.

Well there’s no need for apology inditx. The benefit of not needing to use a clutch would doubtless be beneficial under those circumstances.

That link looks like the version I can get here but my picture seems to show a longer muffler.
I'll keep looking or stick with standard

That's not an original switch, but does appear to be a Marelli switch. If you remove the securing nut and rubber piece, there may be a key code stamped next to the key slot. There's some key blank information on This Old Tractor:

Not yet seeing a code or part nbr on this barrel

+1 on the Zard tune. works great.
I think I bought agostini, but would have to confirm whether it was agostini or mistral. got mufflers too, with db killer left installed. runs great.
i’d save the “$$$$” label for cost for the Guzzitech option.. that one takes the cake on cost. Probably great, but thats a hot topic.
My setup works great, all agostini (or mistral?) and upmap w/Zard.
