Zitat von Oscarguitar im Beitrag #15 I absolutely agree that the new black Akro looks the business against the yellow /black combo on your bike - enjoy

Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #13 I'd just like to be able to hear the engine over the wind noise.

I have a Ducati, with Ferracci cans and a '16 RS, with a Remus slip on. Neither is loud enough at highway speeds to overpower the music playing through my Sena 20S (The only time that happens is under hard acceleration). Wind noise will always trump exhaust noise, mainly because of the position of the pipes relative to your ears. Both bikes I've mentioned have a deeper exhaust note, which is more tasteful on the road than, say, a straight piped Harley, for instance. That would be a noisy bike to me. Especially with the onboard stereo blaring out distorted tunes to all those around them |

Zitat von sodapop im Beitrag #17Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #13 These days, I am happy to hear basically anything. We can't renew our bodies the way we can trade in and renew our bikes.
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Zitat von Oscarguitar im Beitrag #15 Agreed. I like the look and it's an expensive upgrade at $1000. But I'm happy with it.

Zitat von Nassos im Beitrag #23 In my Request (5 Months ago), they said that only the ABE Papers had to be adjusted. Anything else makes no sense. Building an Exhaust for Euro 4 for one Year makes no sense if 2021 applies to the same Machine type EU5. The R1250RS is already EU5 ready. You can't just issue Documents for something that doesn't yet exist .. From 2021 all new Motorcycle Registrations in Germany must have EU5 I am not informed about other Countries regarding EU5  Perhaps the current RS can be rewritten to EU5, regarding Tax rate etc. etc. I will let myself be surprised  |

Zitat von Doc4216 im Beitrag #27 If you have an iPhone, you can download a free sound level meter app from NIOSH. Place the phone 1/2 meter from the muffler at the same height, but 45-degrees outboard of fore-aft. Measure the noise level at idle and 4500-rpm (1/2 redline). Do this outside and away from large walls (a reflecting surface) that may bias (high) your measurements. Old Forum Orphan |

Zitat von sodapop im Beitrag #17Zitat von Alda im Beitrag #13 That's easy. Go slow. But, from a practical standpoint, making your exhaust load enough to dominate the wind noise at highway speeds will truly offend other motorists, pedestrians and property owners.

I think the only way the exhaust note is going to be louder than the wind on an RS is if you point the tip at your helmet |
