Eh?

Are you deaf?


Makes more noise than my Speed Triple with a road legal race can on.... Induction noise if for the rider. Exhaust noise is for posing to other people!

Not deaf at all - dont you wear ear plugs too?
I find exhaust tunes alerts drivers on quite a number of occasions - and lets the REAL ducati sound out when required.
A properly made system will still permit the bike to sound moderate, when ridden moderately - and also sing well when opened on road or track.
Mind you, I've had Ducati's for quite a long while now and am so used to the 'proper' sound from all of them, right up from the 620 - as well as open clutch on our bigger 2 (before you comment on that type of noise - its cooler for it as I tend to ride distances ).
One of my bruvs had an uncorked striple till he got his latest bike a couple of weeks or so ago, but he said it still doesnt measure up to AK's special for 'tune'

LOL!

Why would you wear earplugs when you can listen to induction like that?

I admit all Dukes sound lovely unsilenced. I might get mine canned, or I might spend the money on fuel and tyres..... We'll see.



I saw the official accessories brochure at the weekend. There will be a nice neat numberplate hanger, I'll get one of those I think, and maybe some nice mirrors. And I'll uprate the headlight bulbs too.

Anyway, why am I on about this. I gotta get my grubby little mitts on it first, FFS!
