I also don't like all the intake noise from most of the newer 600's.

Thats the Best part!!!

I cant say I havent gone to 16,5 Once or twice on the 6R...I usually shift it around 14 when im "On It"...But I've hit Limiter a half dozen times or so because I forgot to shift...

Mostly Im in 4th ro 5th at like 5 grand when Im in town...So I dont disrupt the Neighbors.

I'd much rather hear the exhaust note, that's the music.

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 have actually, i think you may be asking too much from a stock exhaust noise wise

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....

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.

You wanna talk about a loud intake...Daytona 675.

My SuperHawk had a loud intake versus how quiet the stock exhaust was. Zoomie always loved to call it the Jetson's bike because of how it sounded.
