Naw... I think Hopper would much prefer the custom '56 Panhead he rode in Easy Rider...

I think I'd pass on this too... I think loud Harley's get people's attention, and they know you're there. I wish I still had my old '47 Knucklehead! It was loud!

That was on a recent episode of Top Gear...next time a millionaire is bored and needs something to do with their money, just donate it to me instead of creating such an abomination.

to depend on the noise of the pipes is foolish. there isn't one single reputable study to support them. at hiway speeds no one in front of you can hear those pipes. the people behind you can already see you. i've got plenty of road time on a bike and i know that lane positioning, and situational awareness go alot further towards my personal safety than any other factor. loud pipes are only a selfish invasion of someone else's personal space. 99% of the guys with the cobra drag pipes don't even jet the carbs, they run lean and the pipes turn blue. and those are the guys with the floppy wrist syndrome. modern motorcycles run just fine at idle without having to goose the throttle. loud pipes don't do anything but get on peoples nerves.

I'm sorry but the terminology on this is all wrong ... a "car" the size of a motorcycle is no where near a "full sized" vehicle ...

Well at least here in the states where "full sized" means you can seat 6 people comfortably in a car ...
