+1 - I wish all motorcycles were made to be as quiet as the BMW
CptJohnC rides, but we all know that's the exception rather than the rule on motorcycles. In general, people who ride their motorcycles want to be heard loud and clear (maybe that's a safety advantage given their speed?) The noise still rests as very annoying for us bicyclists and pedestrians.
