V4 Quietest Bike I’ve Ever Had

Quite exhausts are for queer’s… ha!

 

Bikes and cars need to be loud. If people don’t like that, they are snowflakes and need to be shot.

 

Or maybe some of us don’t feel the need to shout ‘look at me’ and just get on with riding stealthily.
The V4 air box makes a good noise when on the throttle hard.
When I start it on the drive, it’s far louder than my Street Triple RS.

 

Ducatis should be loud. If you want to be a wallflower, buy a Honda.

 

You sound like a management fanny…

 

A quiet exhaust does enable you to hear the rattles more and feed your paranoid worry monkey thoughts tho …,

 

It doesn’t need to be loud to sound good.

it won’t be long before obnoxiously loud bikes get impounded. Some European countries already do it.

 

There’s loud (Ducati), and obnoxiously loud (Harley). All of the latter should be impounded.

 

I think people are forgetting what an 'open' exhaust can bring. And that they have installable baffles.

My last 1260 and the one I have on order have had the full termi system and ecu up map from day one. It smoothens out the power curve and removes all the bulahit emissions limits in the way as well. The bike simply feels like it should have.

It doesn't have to be overly loud, although if you like a more subtle bike, it's not going to be for you.

 

Quietest bike I've had is a zx6r, still got it, a '99 G2 last carbed model. Love it! Because it's a bolt on can, it's still original Kawasaki part.

 

Imagine if everyone who owned a vehicle removed the ‘bullshit’ emissions stuff?
How much shite poisonous gases would we all be breathing in then and affecting our health?

 

If we're sticking to sports bikes, just how many made in the last 20 years actually do significant mileage every year to have any meaningful impact on what you're breathing in? Folks on a goldwing doing interstellar mileages don't tend to customise their bikes in this way

 

So it’s ok to break the rules if only a few do it?
All it does is give a more solid argument to the ‘ban bikes’ brigade.

 

I like to think about the topic as Volume vs Tone.
I dislike the former but seek the latter.

 

No just a grown up rather than a small spoilt noisy child having a tantrum

 

Sorry dad

 

By bye @Fairy Cringe good to not have to listen to your dull opinions any further…

 

Nope didn't say that.
The bikes that have it done, don't usually do high miles. It's not going to have a huge impact on what you breathe in.
Bikes aren't emissions tested at MOT, no rules are being broken.
If you're really that concerned, don't ride your bike

 

This may be an option for some extra noise ?
