I just purchased a pre-owned 08 sv650 that has a m4 exhaust and of course its loud and growls. I guess this is appealing to most but am I crazy for considering to have it replaced with a stock muffler. I'm a new rider and purchased the naked sv as a good starter bike. This muffler seems to be for a racer type of rider. The bike also seems a little too "torquey" like its begging me to ride it hard. Any thoughts?
the stock muffler is really quiet (for a bike). I like it that as I use my bike for touring.
the bike's torquey because it's a v-twin. with my luggage, the front wheel lifts on full throttle acceleration. it's fun that way.
nice pick up, the nekkid bikes are the coolest anyways.
edit:
official veto to the pick above. few things offend me, but any guy that beats a girl deserves to have his f'in nuts cut off.
- not amused, i humbly request the picture to be removed.
