baffled
 
I think I must be getting old and boring...I think I actually prefer the noise of my bike with the baffle in. It sounds...healthier! (still frickin loud!).
Nicer as in it turns to a loud mechanical bark at 7000rpm than a constant rumble.



Surely i'm not the only loser [-o<

I keep hearing SV's with loud cans and I dont think I could live with it, hence not having one (yet)

Oh you could trust me

EDIT: To be fair i did say earlier in another thread that 2mths CCC sounded sweet and much better than mine. And his has a baffle in.

once you hear the pops and burble on the over-run you'll want one, trust me:cool:

I think they can sound a bit too rough without the baffle. Although mines on the loudest/nastiest side of the aftermarket cans. I think being baffleless is 'something for the weekend sir?'

I like the subtle growl of my OEM can. I tend to equate the baffless with the boy racers in clios .....

Boy Racer! Me?

I date back to when bikes sounded like bikes without aftermarket pipes on.:smt088

It should be the law that v-twins have loud pipes. :)

I forgot to put the baffle in my Z750 remus powecone before I left touring.

The can sounds awesome in the mountains, popping screaming etc. 3500 miles of motorways was aweful, could still hear the can very clearly over the wind noise which is very noisy as well. Really got very tiring.

Also with any loud can I get a bit embarrsed riding in quite villages etc, I know what people are thinking when you go past and I sort of agree with them as well, its a shame we cant have a loud switch.
