The noise is amazing though.
I remember once when I had a Two Brothers exhaust on my old Urban Tiger FireBlade, I was showing it off to a group of friends (this was a LONG time ago!). It was (and still would be) a beautiful thing. All lovely new and shiny...
Then I hit the start button and it sounded like an explosion! People jumped away like ripples in a pond, one of the girls screamed. Damn that was a great bike in its day. Sadly, much of the technology we take fro granted hadn't yet been invented, it would be another ten years (!) before YouTube was even invented and I had to make my own portable recorder (mini VHS, hacked camcorder etc.)
Still sounds good to me but that might be just because I remember what it used to feel like...
