Did you buy your bike based on the sound?

[Tigadee]

Admit it, you bought your bike based on the sound it produces, didn't you?

Bandit, no.
Never heard another bandit with a straight pipe.
TL? Yes. Kept seeing the same one tear my chest apart just idling at the lights, 6 months later and fuck it. I want one.

[sil3nt]

Not for me. Some people love the sound of an NC30 and although I don't think it sounds terrible it just doesn't really do it for me.

Is there another reason to buy a V-Twin?

[Subike]

Im deaf so it didnt matter

[Big Dave]

Nope. Sound had absolutely nothing to do with any bike I've bought.

You want a TL? as in Suzuki TL1000R?
how lucky that I have one for sale....

It was definitely a factor.

My bike sounded like a sewing machine with the stock mufflers, but they were never going to last longer than a day or two like that. I don't think anyone leaves them like that. They're sort of a placeholder.

I'll put V&H Shortshots on when I can spare the cash from a payday, but in the meantime I've had a man whack a holesaw up the stockers and they sound pretty frickin' sweet.

The demo Nightster I rode at AMPS had the Shortshots, V&H aircleaner and had been dyno tuned. Felt like it made a solid 10hp more than stock. I look forward to making the same mods to mine.

And they look mean.

Well.....
I was looking for a CBR 600F2 for a few weeks. Then I saw mine, and it had a Kirker on it.
Sounds much better than the impersonation of a Singer that they usually sound like, so bought it....

As for the Ninja... Nope, wanted a Ninja for ProLite racing. It sounds a little better than one with a standard muffler with the Geinelli though.

If you say so mate ....

If you say so mate ...

You don't like them?

I suppose it's fortunate that nobody's going to force you to ride my bike, then.

That pegs a little optimistic isnt it?

[BigAl]

No, bought mine for performance, 100cc of pure power.
