loudest v-twin

I think mine is quite loud. The guys at Fox's yesterday should be able to validate that as I rode off down the road.

still think our V-raptor 1000 with M4 exhausts is probably tooooooooooooooo loud for quite a few ears on here

I think a Raptor thou on anything other than stock cans is probably too loud for a lot of people

I have to confess that I only bought the thou as I liked the noise that Sid Squid's was putting out

When I worked in Knightsbridge, I used to park in a very posh underground car park most days, and used to set off all the car alarms on the Ferraris, Porsches, Rollers, etc. The attendant used to hate me

While we're on the subject of noise, you should ALWAYS wear earplugs. As little as 20 mins at 70mph with a standard helmet can permanently damage your hearing just from the windnoise alone. It's OK when you're young, but give it 10 years and you'll really know about it . . . EH

Hi all, just got my bike after 3 months of shipping from the states, i think she had a bit of a rour to her, but not met anyone on the forum yet to validate it, but i am sure there are louder out there. 9"viper Exhaust pic below

Bit late for me then... 30 years too late!
I work with the deaf, and tested my ears last year... mine are good for my age... so there goes your theory....

This is an old thread.

Loudest I heard (on the road) was a RSV '03 with baffle less Blue flame on. It was MAD to follow

Kinda why I have a similar setup now.

Heard some loud SP 1/2's and TLs/r's and obviously hogs with streight through's.

Loudest ive heard is mine without any silencers... by 4000rpm it made my ears make a neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer tone (sign of loss of hearing of a frequency ) so I turned it off. Made the SV with no zorst sound like a wisper.

Loudest i've heard is my dads Buell Lightning XB12Ss down in the underground car park. Couldn't hear eachother talking but what a noise

Gotta be lad at works Buell 900 with jardine can.

my old sv1000sk3 when i started her up with no cans on at all.
