Have one on my MV and can confirm it is stupid loud, peeps put fingers in ear loud when I ride through villages and towns. I don’t hear it at full volume as I always ride with ear plugs in no matter which bike I ride.
I don't know how you do it. I had ear plugs in and it was causing me physical pain.. Seems a bit odd to want this.
Unfortunately I’m very much deaf these days through occupation in a previous life. No I wasn’t the Bell Ringer at Notre Dame, tinnitus ain’t no fun….. So with earplugs in I don’t hear it at full chat. I use earplugs to protect what’s left of my hearing. I’d often wonder why I’m always the tail gunner in a group ride.
Many years ago I was biffing along the motorway on the Darmah, that had conti replicas, in cahoots with a Yamaha RD350LC and he said he could still hear it when he was in front of me...
Yeah but I bet that sounded awesome. This was like a jet/broken bearing on a turbine.. it was just horrendous and how any exhaust pipe manufacturer thinks that sounds good is beyond me... It was resonating at a pitch that made my eyeballs wobble !. And I was on a 996 with loud pipes... All I could hear was this Scream... I have a V4 too and was looking at pipes.. not that one for sure
