No, no, leave it here, that's fine. It's all motorcycle noise after all.

I really enjoy the diversity - so many cool bikes that sound cool in different ways.

The Daytona 675 shouldn't be forgotten either:

Arrow exhaust - the Arrow race can on the 675 sounds awesome during fly-bys along the straight of Ruapuna!

Custom Akropovic exhaust:

Not likely, I'm too full of myself for that kinda malarky.

I see that crack is still available from the staff cafeteria.

SV1000 S V twin no baffles in the Yoshis....pretty mean sound, wound out.
Get lots of votes

Don't get me wrong Jim, the 09 sounds nice, but put it next to a decent sounding vtwin and you're not even likely to hear it.

Ahh, now that's where you're incorrect in regard to the specific comparison I was lucky enough to witness. The 09 R1 with the pipes drowned out the RSV with the full Akrapovic system he was riding next to when I saw them together in the Hutt last weekend.

Bring back the Marlboro Series......

140rwhp on this dyno run (it got better later) and 158 kilo's semi wet....that one is only a 700 not a 750 given the cylinders it had fitted (doubled up TZ350F). Usual 750 stock is about 120. A good 700 is about a 120 also (originally quoted at 90). This one was a highside looking to happen.
