The GRP one totally transformed the riding experience for me . The standard one on my current ER5 is so quiet that it makes the bike feel so remote that I've no idea what it's doing . Motorcycling is a sensory experience that should be enjoyed to the full . But not at the cost of annoying those that don't want to sit and listen to bikes screaming past, I can understand where the anti noise brigade are coming from.

Joe85 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) Mine sets some poor buggers car alarm off in the work car park. It’s very obnoxious, but I can’t be arsed to put the stock pipes back on. (It also sounds amazing). Edited July 26, 2022 by Joe85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ian To busy riding it . Went to the Royal Mail depot this evening to collect a package . Afterwards the bike somehow steered me to the wrong exit on the A45 island and before I knew it I was the other side of Banbury and heading deep into Oxfordshire. Came back via Woodstock and Shipston followed by a bit of Fosse Way . What an extraordinary machine . I used to do this sort of thing on my GSXR in half the time but I couldn't remember any of it .

I appreciate the engineering reasons but you get the impression the design team just don't know what a motorcycle should look like. And that includes Harley Davidson .
