Who has the loudest SV? (Bit of fun/competition)
 

Hi Guys,

A little fun topic here that you may or may not wish to take part in...

But let's see who has the loudest SV650. I suppose other bikes are accepted as well :p

Loud pipes saves lives! Not sure if you guys know of RJ (Royal Jordanian on youtube for his Nuda 900) but that's some loud pipe!

Anyway without further ado, here's my bike...

We have had two fights with our neighbour over loud exhausts... Does that count?

On a serious note, I have the baffle fitted in my Beowulf because without it, the engine runs like a bag of turds on a wet wednesday and we still get complaints. Old farts who don't like bikers are louder than all of us put together.

I have an akrapovic full system and with the race baffle fitted it is loud! I have stock baffle fitted at the mo which is quite a bit more quiet.
Loud pipes I am sure do save lives although can pee other road users off. I was traveling home in the car about two weeks ago my trip is mainly unlit country roads. I came to a T junction at the main A road again unlit and there were tempory lights for road works, I was turning left with a mile or so tail back of traffic to my right there was a gap in the stationary traffic so I went given it was properly dark it was tough to see the bike overtaking the stationary traffic doing probably about 50/60 mph in a bid to get to the front had I not heard his race can I would have pulled out on him which at the very least would have put a dampener on his commute home worse case killed him! His light just blended in with all the hundreds of others and as he was overtaking was impossible to see his exhaust is what told me he was there.
Loud pipes do work

Loud pipes do appear to save lives, although sometimes it's best not to interfere with nature.

I reckon mine's loudest. Where can I get a noise meter..?

Re: Who has the loudest SV? (Bit of fun/competition)
 

This is with the baffle in...

I'll whip the baffle out soon.

Sorry not even close to being loud.

Not mine, but the Mighty Boosh's Sv was the loudest I've ever heard. You could hear it 2 counties away & it was painful to ride behind, even from a distance

111db (cold) - which would drown out a full symphony orchestra (apparently) or Turbo-fan aircraft at takeoff power at 200 ft
104db (hot) - jet flyover at 1000 feet

Measured at Castle Coombe limit was 105db :)
