Fast forward to clip to about 3.43

No idea what they have done to Motogp bikes but they are definitely quieter than they used to be.

Hadn't really thought about it Duke but your right. I remember watching them at Donny in 2003 and you genuinely needed ear plugs in the crowd it was that loud.

I listened to Bradley's M1 being warmed up in pit lane at the Day of Champions without needing any ear protection. You could not do that the last time i was that lucky.

Cough *older* Cough cough *deaf*.

One part of me that doesn't seem to be deteriorating with age is my hearing.

Pardon?

Yeah, unfortunately there isn't £400 in the kitty..

Not sure this thread has actually helped as the poll shows most with un-baffled cans guess I might have to stick with them then

If you want them to be quieter just buy some ear plugs much cheaper.

if you want them quieter when were they last repacked ??? as this can make a difference to the noise

I repacked them about 6 months ago, it didn't really make much difference.

@blade - I'm more bothered about everyone around me. I remember following Ket on his tueno with unbaffled cans so know how loud it is to follow.

Just ride around in 6th or stealth mode as I call it.

I wouldn't worry about the noise for others if I was you. Can't speak for anyone else but personally the noise from another bike wouldn't bother me, in fact probably quite the opposite I would probably enjoy hearing a twin getting spanked on open cans. But if it did bother me I would either drop back or over take you. I would just do what makes you happymate and not worry about anyone else.

Daytona 675 with Arrow can, no baffles..........the SWEETEST sound on the Planet

And my mates always ask me to lead the pack to hear it!!

Difficult when they ride tweaked CBRs, Busas etc.......but a MASSIVE GRIN FACTOR
