You are having a laugh. My Daytona 955i SE had the genuine high level carbon race can and sounded like the world was ending. My dad hates bikes, but even he admitted it sounded nice... "just like a Hawker Hurricane starting up when I was a kid during the war" was how he described it when I fired it up outside my parent's front door one evening.

Loud doesn't come close to describing the cacaphony it emitted.

I keep looking at speed triples. I'll have one when I get some brass and throw it in beowulfs general direction with the instruction to "put some manner of pipe under the seat and make it really f##kin antisocial"
