ok, but I don't want to hear it over the exhaust. have you rode a new R6 or similar? the intake is much louder than the exhaust in the riding position. it's just now what I want to hear for an extended ride.

I also don't like all the intake noise from most of the newer 600's.
Ya think?! Maybe the fact that you ride a liter bike?! Really dude, that was a silly statement.

I do tend to agree with you on the noise, the stock exhaust can be obnoxiously loud, but um, we do ride performance bikes, a louder sound when getting on it is expected and therefore just part of the whole experience. The higher ya run the RPMs, the louder she's gonna be, thus why I dont rev her sky high when riding...and yes, a liter will be running lower, obviously explaining why you got one perhaps?

I can't believe you guys are arguing about what RPMs you cruise at... that's fucking retarded....

I love how people project their needs and wants on others....

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

sorry, thought you were following up on why I don't like a 600 for commuting/casual riding. I don't like the buzz/higher rpm for any speed or having to downshift instead of just rolling on the throttle to go where I want.
