Perhaps this may shed some light onto it ..

Not sure if this bill received royal assent.
Beating a dead horse lol ...
Everyone has picked sides already and there's no convincing either side. Thread has been entertaining though.
About the bell helmet .. seems like wind noise is an inherent design flaw, or perhaps a trade off for better ventilation, as you pointed out. My Bell star...
Nope, do you ride a Harley or some American cruiser ? My Kawasaki 650 had a stock exhaust and cagers used to cut me off all the time. Now that I have an Akra, the difference is apparent.
And no, they don't cut me off after checking their mirrors and acknowledging my presence.
My exhaust is no...
Serve the finger once the way is clear. And yeah, some people really get ticked off. One guy got so mad, he had his horn, windshield wipers, high beams all going at the same time lol
My back was sore after the demo ride. Have to constantly flex the trap muscles on the low bar Scout bobber. That mixed with my SS probably is the reason. Yep, the high bar definately helped, made it much more comfy. Does ruin the look, I agree.
FTR is one of the worst bikes I've ever ridden...
Even with the baffle out, the Akra is surprisingly quieter at lower rpms than other aftermarket exhausts like the M4. My neighbour's Harley with stock pipes is louder.
And I too see cagers checking their mirrors on the highway *before* I pass them, with my Akra. At least a majority of them do.
Yep, i test rode all the bobbers .. 4 of them. Scout with low bars is definately the best amongst all 4. I also liked the one with the raised bars. It felt more comfy.
Makes sense to me too. I was given a 1 year credit for G license. All that meant was, I could've taken the G test right after passing the G2 road test, without the one year wait.
Hmm surprised. Given your age + 2 years licensed + M (right?) ... Thats too expensive for a cruiser, even if it's 1700cc. Could it be that particular cruiser for whatever reason ? Have you tried pricing something similar just to see if there's a difference ?
