Just use low revs until you get out of the street.

This is what I would do.

Also If you can wheel or push your bike away from those neighbours who you don't get on with so you dont anatgonise them anymore. If possible.

None of the above.

Don't sod it and annoy people and don't not take the bike, just ride consideratly.

I have Remus with no baffles and i regularily leave for work about 6:30ish, the latest i ever go is 7:20. All you have to do is keep the revs down and it's no problem.

If any one says anything just apologize and put the baffles in, if it's anything like my Remus it's as quite as the stock can with baffles in.

Same here.

I leave at 6.15 am. (same can as you)

I keep the revs down (max 4k).

Thats all - then again if you don;t get on with your neighbours: just rev the tit*s of it

I start with the choke, then adjust the choke so it does 2500rpm for 30 sec.

That's enough for my bike.
