Anyone here prefer a quiet bike?

@GM...Right on. They sound good but aren't insane loud.

Depends on the bike I guess.

My Hayabusa still has the stock exhaust. I use that bike for touring, and I do not want to hear that drone on the highway for an 800 mile day.

My TLR has a full titanium Yoshimura race system, and it sounds just right, albeit louder than I prefer for an around town bike. I don't ride it a *lot* these days, but it definitely gets heard when I do.. People 10 feet behind me don't like feeling the exhaust pulses either. LOL

V4s MUST have a pipe of some sort.

Twins, depends.

Inlines I leave stock.

Triples...again, pipe.

Nobody liked being behind my TLR with the M4's on it either
