Anyone here prefer a quiet bike?

I prefer it quiet, but the Leo Vince's sound sooo good. If I could just cut their volume in half, I'd be a happy man.

Same here...although my Z06 is loud and my R1 is kind of loud. The R6 is quiet though.

I wish they were like my boat...it has Captains Choice exhaust and I can make it loud or quiet at the flip of a switch.

No I'm not planning to add cut outs to the car or bikes.

I like the stealth benefit and less-annoying-to-neighbors factor of the OEM muffler, but I plan to switch mine out for an aftermarket with a quiet core this year.
It's a V-twin... it needs a more authoritative voice.

Instead of the sewing machine it sounds like now. There's a guy who goes by my house every day with a 1125. I dont know what he's got on it but I can hear him coming from a mile away.

Probably Free Spirits or one of the other small-shop pipes.
I'm looking at the Barker's w/quiet core.
The price is right, and it's very compact.

Thats got a nice sound. Whats the sticker on it? Small shops are king with Buell. I like Drummer myself, but I know his stuff is stiff for the 1125.

Now Tom, you see how this is done? Why can't you post YT vids, dont make me go looking for shit when you talk about exhausts.
