My Street Triple is like that, and that's with the baffle in! On busy high streets, it feels to me like everyone looks around with a "WTF is that?!" expression on their faces, and in nice quiet places like the Lake District, it's frankly an embarrassment
Trouble is, it's a large part of the character of the bike, and to quieten it down would largely destroy that. What to do?!
Buy a tinted visor then snigger to yourself when you throttle blip and make the old ladies jump 😁😂
Noisy race cans upset so many people and don't always help with filtering plus they can piss people off.
I have a Pipewerxs race can on my 600, it has a raspy note when given beens (Bit like myself) but in traffic it is acceptable, bimbling through town it does not cause heads to turn. on long runs at 70 or 80 it has pleasantly loud rasp at 120 its bordering on being downright loud.
I did take the baffle out of it at one point but it was stupid loud so back in it went, any way I like the look of the Pipewerxs baffle in place see pic
A really loud can upsets you neighbours when you leave home early for work, it can also piss them off at night when you turn up back home after midnight, as commented earlier it draws the attention of the Old Bill, if they can hear you coming from half a mile away it gives the plenty of time to get the radar gun out.
To be honest a really loud exhaust note is fatiguing on a long run.scaring the shit out of motorists
I have seen it happen a few time when sat at red traffic light a big bike comes filtering up (Often much to fast for their own safety) between the rows of cars blipping his throttle and scaring the crap out of unsuspecting car drivers, only to find a car driver (Usually a BMW) feels that he is being bullied to get out the way then shuts the door on the bike not allowing him through, often a row ensues with the biker getting lairy shouting obscenities at the driver, but, the biker is at a disadvantage, he is sat astride a bike that he is not able to drop onto its side stand because of lack of room between the cars, the car driver is out of the car with all the room in the world to shove the bike over or land a swift punch through the open visor, it is usually open because the biker has been giving it large at the driver.
Must admit I have never seen the last part of that scenario but would love to. I think its called artistic licence
