Heck, I think I'd need a different bike. Not sure the wee-strom would do very well on those "roads".

GS country for certain. Or KTM. Maybe KLR/DRZ. Sadly not 1125R. Shoulda bought a Ully...

Loud is just a matter of perspective. My 1125 is soooo quiet, by full race standards anyhow. Really I know alot of cruisers in town louder...

no... I have an MRD full system. wakes the DRZ up quite a bit... but is loud as hell.

I honestly think my bike has gotten a lot quieter since the Rally... dunno why... I checked the packing it all looks good... (just looked didn't remove it) but damn dude's DRZ I could literally hear from 2 miles away when he got on it.
