imagine a lawnmower on idle = gs on idle

imagine a lawnmower on full choke = gs above 7k rpm

Here is a good clip of one on the gas, and then what it sounds like about to crash.

:?

I'm not sure which one it is, but I'm kinda glad that I don't have your bike or your sewing machine. A bike that wussy wouldn't be much fun and if a sewing machine was as loud as my bike, I would most likely be very scared.

Actually, the bike in the video sounds like it has an aftermarket or modified exhaust. My stock GS is almost silent. There is some intake noise and a little exhaust. However the day I bought it, on my ride home I passed two State Troopers that were parked and talking, while I was going 30mph over ther speed limit and they didn't appear to notice. I think it's a stealth bike. I like it. :thumb:

yeah, the bike isn't stock

i don't know what it sounds stock since i bought the bike when it wasn't running, so i did all the mods and then started the bike

Clayman,

If your expecting a straight answer from this crew then think again. :guns:

Here is what your "investment" should sound like:

If you expect your "investment" to increase in value then it should sound like Meighan's cat while sleeping.  Then after about 50 years locked up in a garage maybe you can find some goof ball to pay you more than you paid.  Factoring in inflation of course. :lol:

On the other hand if you expect your "investment" to decrease in value then run it hard like chinox22x's lawn mower and you will be rewarded. :mrgreen:



John :cheers:
