Surely it makes sense?
Exactly why I didn't go out and spend £300 on a replacement.
Not to alienate us any more from the car drivers and general public?
Depends how noisy it is, Rich on here had an SP1 with a custom pipe, fuck me sounded like a bomb going off, not nice at all. Pretty sure it would damage the riders hearing in a short space of time.
To make is less likely to have the Coppers pull us over?
Hence why I always use the standard pipe where available. My goose came with a custom pipe, but tbh it may aswell have not been on as it was hideously loud. I also put the original number plate on - fuck all point attracting attention to yourself from plod for "performance gains" on a bike that only just did 100 mph.
To save scaring all the animals in the countryside?
Fuck them. A deer sent me flying over the handlebars and down the road before,
glad I killed the fucking thing on impact.
I can't think of a single reason (other than, it sounds nice) to have a loud exhaust fitted to the bike ?
On sports bikes it might be worth it for a performance increase, but only for the track surely?
