Monstrosity Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Rode my buddies new R1 today. Wow that bike sounds nasty! Its all stock. When he pulled into my driveway I thought he was on a V-twin. I didnt get on it (waiting till he has the first service done) kept the revs below 6K. I'll post back once I can open it up a little/lot.

alienpi Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 redrocket turned into Confucius? Yes, I'm surprised that there isn't a redrocket smiley yet. Something with a picture of a red rocket ship with a blurb coming out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruelHouse Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 They do sound like a twin, wait to you hear one with a set of aftermarket cans:bow:+1!The first time that I actually heard one, my girl and I were walking around in San Francisco and there were about 30bikes passing us... Within that pack was a white '09 with an Akrapovic system... Sounded insane... Made me want one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 if you are looking for one here is one for salehttp://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=62796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monstrosity Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 if you are looking for one here is one for salehttp://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=62796Man thats nice looking... I'd love one but really want something more comfy. Plus I know I'll break 100mph every time I hit an on ramp. As far as the sound goes it looks like it has something to do with the firing order. It hits 1,2,3,4 instead of 1,3,2,4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMMW Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I heard my first one at Indy last year. I was impressed. But when I saw/heard one on the street, with the Akra's, such a great sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
