Hmmm. That looks like my sort of bike. Well, the sort of bike I'd like to imagine myself on anyway!
What is it?

Not on an HP2 they didn't, they rode 1150GSA's...... the HP2 is a proper Dakar bike... only real men need apply KTM owners take a step back..

Nah, CBR1000. The frame's not standard either and the tank is half cbr half gtr1000. It's hard to keep the front wheel down and it frightens small children

the excitment is normally derived from the thought that others will get excited!

Couldn't agree more! I say sod em all, rip it up whilst you can! If all else fails, then it's "trail and trespass", mod sites are pretty good for that!

[QUOTE=codprawn] A
A VERY good friend of mine owns a farm where the local Roman Road virtually goes through his farmyard. He has no opbjection to the odd Land Rover purring through on it's own but when you have 12 of them on a jolly it is a TOTALLY different matter. Even worse are the bikes - a 4x4 you will hardly hear at over 100yds but a motorbike is totally different - especially when you have 30 of them!!!
just found this i betya i know this farm ,,, right mouth piece on him,,, drive down into his court yard, farm on right . barns on the left big concrete yard,, we if its the same one, came through the gate shut of engines and free wheeled through,,, and i became and english C#*%, the rest you may know,
so much for being polite and considerate, now i make a point of pissing him awf,,
hasten to add we was with a guide costing 180quid a time, and did every thing above board,
my pennys worth for what its worth.

i dont think so......
the performance gains together with the very deep noise levels and presence are what it is all about, it enhances the riding experience 100 fold. also torque was increased thru the range especially in the mid section so ridability is improved too. Anyone following me will only hear my bike and feel the beat of the exhausts . Makes you feel you are actually riding something rather than silently gliding along. Of course it adds to the safety as folks can hear you.
now on the drz i have quietened it down a fair bit as sometimes i am where i should not be and i dont like attracting to much attention or causing too much grief. For that reason i find 2 strokers with race pipes cause a lot of problems on the trails as the noise travels and pisses folks off.
