Actually 4x the displacement is a penile aid, indicating the lack of masculinity.................
All I want is a pleasant but respectful sound. Not too much you can do with 300cc's though. Being primarily a biker the sound from the engine with the CVT still sounds strange to me. Having an overly loud muffler would only serve to enhance the weirdness.
There seems to be more and more scoot's running around by me. While I still hear a fair amount of loud shifters, I have yet to hear a loud slider. One of the attractions to a Cager thinking of converting to one of these as a commuting alternative is a quiet bike. A mode of transportation that can be both admired and respected by their peers. An overly loud and obnoxious scooter serves only to disway alot of the target market for these bikes.
IMHO loud mufflers on these just gives off that moped like impression. As if they just do not, under their own design, have enough power to cope. Either that or we are just too cheap to have a real muffler or fix the bike properly. Again to me a loud bike gives a low quality impression. To each their own, some people argue that you need to be heard. I’d rather be seen than heard and if they are admiring the bike you are likely to be paid more attention to.
