DT "say anything" thread

[eltristo]

I did my back to back this morning while dodging rain showers. Limited rides but still. The Husky isn't slow but it's not going to win any drag races. The KTM is a full on hot rod out of control beast that is just civilized enough to be on the road. It just doesn't like anything slow, in sport mode anyway. Both handle very well but just differently.  Both on the borderline of being obnoxiously loud.  Hmmmmm................

Is that "Hmmmmm" the thought of going over the line into obnoxious territory?

Every now & then I forget how loud, how really crazy earsplitting loud, they are with the baffles out. Lasts only one ride and the baffles go back in. Remember that the internal packing keeps going away over time so that every time the baffle comes out it is louder than before.  Take my word for it that with the open intakes and the aftermarket exhausts neither of these bikes is anything close to unobtrusive. Both are louder than the old 900 Monster or the 848. ............. OK, maybe not louder than the Monster but not any less loud either
