sounds nice, although i personally feel that an auto box never makes them sound QUITE right as theres no delay in the gearchange at all and some slippage of the torque converter at lower speeds giving a 'slurring' effect to the revs. thats just my personal opinion. still sounds very nice though!

Hi Pete - Aye agreed, down changes sound brilliant, but you do get that slur on the up changes, unless you have it flat stick, and then it does that 'percussive' upchange thing. I'll maybe try and get some footage - although that'd be about 6 months, because I can get the traction busy just by breathing too hard atm :0)

My gf loves road trips across europe, she got a bit nervous on "route napoleon" in the wet when the back stepped out. :D

I do worry when the passenger is louder than the engine... ;-)

I see you've some tidy bikes as well, I'll hazard a guess that the SPS is the loudest of the lot. (I used to use mine to set car alarms off...:twisted:)

:) It's a toss-up between the SPS (54mm Termi full system) and the 750 (full Ti SilMoto). The former sounds like God gargling (apparently) and, as you say, sets off car alarms, whereas the latter sounds like an F1 car and can be heard 2 postcodes away ...

Wow, that hand-built engine is music to the ear. I overheard a female voice scream "Jesus". Mine will scream "Holy-Ghost Fire".

I'm glad you all seem to be enjoying the musings of my co-pilot AKA SWMBO :)

As I've said elsewhere, I wouldn't mind, but she considers any time she's not hard on one pedal or the other in her car is wasted!
