It's the smaller bikes that have suddenly become mega loud, you know the ones you can still hear a mile away, that are extremely annoying.
Oh gods, yes! Why does anyone want to ride something that sounds like a demented mosquito...?!

The real issue is power and speed restrictions. To get a bit more speed (learner scooters are speed limited (28mph and 4kW 5.3 bhp) you need more power. To derestrict a current 50cc 2 stroke scooter in any meaning full way is it's not easy or cheap, quickest way is a pipe and a file, but it's going to be noisy, very. Often they actually get slower but the noise give the impression of more speed. :rolleyes
