Did you ever have one of those loud pipe V-twins pull in front of you and then roll on the throttle to accelerate away like you are standing still?
They can't out accelerate my 2 metric ton SUV, let alone any of my other vehicles, so no.

YES! I ride with a small group a couple of times each year, most are novice to intermediate riders, we do a 507 day run and an overnight to Algonquin each summer, I usually sweep and help the new riders. There's one fellow in the group that rides a big Yamaha with straight pipes who loves to will for no reason gear UP then lug at WOT -- not only do I get an irritating boom, I get to smell and taste his exhaust.Did you ever have one of those loud pipe V-twins pull in front of you and then roll on the throttle to accelerate away like you are standing still?
.... I never have, but I might drop back to get away from all the racket

Harley Davidson, providing the most effective way of turning gas into noise, without the pesky side effect of horsepower.
1750cc putting out 65 HP hauling 670 lbs. Probably 60-62 HP with pipes. That's over 11 lbs./HP. I'm surprised it can get out of it's own way.
