Exhaust Noise

Hi all,

I have bought a 2000 sv650s with full fairings. The previous owner put on a nice can that gives the bike a bit more of a grunt sound however is it possible to get an exhaut can to make the bike sound like a high revving f1 car. I have heard a few bikes before that make the same noise as an f1 car and i want to know either:

1) What can to get
2) What bike to get that makes that noise.

I rarely use the bike, maybe half a dozen times a month and i want it to sound a particular way. I know this is a bit childish!!

Regards

The higher revving engines are more likely to have the sound that you desire. Something like a CBR600. However the sound of a V-Twin through a good exhaust is music to most peoples ears!

Any four cylinder bike will give you the sound you're after.

go and buy a four cylinder bike

HTH

You won't get F1 sounds out of a v-twin, you'll be needing a in-line 4.

HTH

any il4 that rev's to 18000rpm

Right, I think i may get a vfr 400 rr as the cbr 600 rr is a bit too much to insure. However the vfr is a v4 but the cbr 400 is a il4.

I guess v-twins are not for me, unfortunately.

So you are going to sell the bike just because it doesnt quite sound right? My missus used to have a cbr400rr and quite frankly that didnt sound anything special. You still wont get the sound you are after!

VFR's etc are expensive and alot of them are 10 years old.. which might cause problems maintenance spares wise, also they seem to hold their value really well, you'd get more bike for your money if you did buy a CBR, particularly the older F models.

Or just stick with your SV...
