even loud pipes can be quiet when ridden at a sedate pace. they just destroy your ear drums when you are caning it. most ducati's are like that from the factory!

Haven't heard the endless clouds of Herdleys trying to make as much noise as they can while sitting still, have you?

I would love to hear a flat out Ducati once in a great while.....

not many harleys around my area but a few chops and loads of hp sports bikes with loud pipes on. brings a smile to my face when a fireblade whizzes past my house and rattles the windows, even my wife has a giggle

An open pipe screaming L4 engine is insanely loud. Excess noise isn't the private domain of the HD buffoons. There are lots of street punks around annoying the crap out of people too.

And just because someone likes loud pipes, that doesn't mean they have the right to run one and annoy the majority of people that don't.

You might if he was one of hundreds with straight pipes on their lawnmowers daily.

If the muffler on the dudes lawn mower is broken then you have every right to be annoyed and ask him to fix it. If the machine is normal, but you just don't like any noise in the morning, then you need to complain to your city commissioners and get them to establish/change the local ordinance. In the case of motorcycle noise, here in the US we have federal laws about motorcycle noise. The problem comes in when the a$$ holes choose to circumvent the laws in an act of defiant anarchy. This is completely different from some law abiding home owner cutting their grass on Saturday morning.

#27 Today, 01:05 PM OldVet66 I find the Vance and Hines 4-1 a good compromise. It will whisper through a hospital zone or growl real good if you want to wake up the cows.

I would agree with OldVet66, the V & H street megaphone is a good choice for your bike. I have one on my 1000 and it is not very loud until you get above 5K or so, and then it has the classic old school sound IMHO.
