Hey, the loud exhaust may be bothersome, but in a way, they are a safety feature. Other people will notice the bikes. Having spent some time in the saddle, I know first hand that people do not see motorcycles. I have a scar on my arm to prove it. Loud bikes will be heard and therefore looked for by even the deafest of Mercedes drivers. If the loudness is that bothersome to you, well, I don't want to get mean here.
