It's the fashion amongst them to see who can make the most noise. They're constantly revving them unnecessarily to increase the racket too.

Can't say I'm surprised. Around this way just about every 125 on L plates appears to have had all the baffling removed from the silencer.

I have a scorpion can and front pipe in my FZ1, there is a difference with the baffle out and in. Out makes more power at the top end noticeably so but less torque at low revs again noticeably so, and visa versa. I keep my baffle in for day to day riding even with the baffles in they are very quick way to loose your licence only take the baffle out for playtime

I like the sound, usually as long as it isn't too loud. Never been done, or even warned for a loud exhaust in 30-something years, even when pulled for other things, and one or two have been quite loud.
A lot of this is because of the idiots who treat the A32 and A272 down here in Hampshire like a race track.When at Loomies Cafe (which is at the junction of the two roads) you can see the morons who think they're the dogs bollocks with their unbaffled pipes go screaming off down the road or blasting past and pissing off the people who live in the local villages.As usual, it's the minority of inconsiderate pillocks who will spoil things for everyone else. Oh and, PS, loud pipes do *NOT* save lives, defensive riding does!Blimey I've heard it all now, the Loud Pipes Police. Bet you can't wait for electric bikes. Fortunately I'll be long gone.

We have suffered this fate on the 6047 from Market Harborough to Melton Mowbray First half got 50mph SPEED LIMIT now due to dick heads speeding through villages been riding that road for best part of 40 years plenty of road out side the villages to enjoy our selves on
....I guess the ANPR tech should in theory reference the allowable limit for individual bikes, but what happens if you're riding a standard 2019 bike amongst a load of Gold Star owners?
