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...

what's odd... is I just got back from a rally where another guy with a DRZ with an MRD exhaust was there... he had the "butt plug" in (silencer) and it was bout 10x as loud as mine. seriously! mine didn't sound all that much louder than anyone else's.

smileyman · 11-13-2010, 08:43 PM

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.
