now where is the fun in that, people buy loud race pipes, not only for the performance but also for the sound… why on earth would they want a quiet bike? Yeah yeah i know it says 2 strokes and you got get rip roaring loud pipes for them but the smell of them is great too 
Electric cars… yes
Electric mopeds… yes
Even electric sportsbikes but electric mx/enduro/supermoto’s no chance, what a waste of time, wont kick off, waste of money :w00t::hehe:

Don’t get me wrong. I love the sound of a thumping single, 2 or 4 stroke, but I can understand why people don’t want them nexto their house.
