Can't be that bad, must say a v-twin would be a tempting bike, but more like a mille is my thinking ;)

Noisy is a problem if operating a machine however is a bonus if pasionate about riding a motorcycle. Too much or the wrong sort of noise is bad in both cases. However I go back to my first point big V-twins are fab.

Unfortunately due to a mishap when cleaning the bike both my baffles fell out and I have been unable to find the right tool to get them back in (Honest). Bike is currently a bit on the loud side. Perhaps not quite in the Mille, storm league but would scare the pants off any Zed rider as I blatted past :)

I'm fairly sure the induction makes more noise than the cans at anything over about 8k anyway.

What has happened to you Dave? You've gone from owning two very respectable bikes to wanting two of the worst bikes in the history of human existance (no, really). :p To each their own though, I used to think wanting a Suzuki Marauder would be 'cool'. Thank god I bought a CG back then.
