Sad but True, Lawman. We either have a quiet future or we will have no future at all.
You're right, Wild Hare, I don't wanna hear a 426F, at least not one with a Big Gun or Yosh on it, although I'm not overly bothered by the stocker. Yeah, it's louder than it should be, but it's not insane. Sometimes I ride a 520 (EXC), and it's a little louder than my 400EXC, but it's only bothersome when you really hammer the throttle.
At some point we're all gonna have to give up the extra 1.5 hp and ride quiet, or go get a bigger motor and leave it stock.
