True because most motorcycles on the road over 600cc are Harleys. More Harleys on the road then ALL other makers combined.
Harley sells more motorcycles in the USA over 600 cc, EVERY YEAR (so far) then all other companies combined.
BUt, you will find your fair share of others with non muffled exhaust, just not as many of them, because there are so few on the road, compared to Harley.
Big thing lately is the ear splitting crack of sport bikes.

Bottom line, stop looking to Washington to fix things and insist your local public servants enforce the law.
Have you not noticed, the people you elect to office are not doing their job, what about Washington too? Are they doing their job? It amazes me that people look to Washington to fix things, when the people who elect them there are brain dead, here is the proof.
Ps, said my peace ... here is the intelligence of the average voter .. Click here for proof

This isnt Washgingtons fault, its the voters who put them there fault. We have laws coming out of our a** , all mean nothing because everything now a days is a fairy tale, including the economy and the proof is the above link.
So lets stop the [censored], insist your laws are enforced, no excuses, anything else is just lazy.

The engine is from a WeedEater that I modified for a 1/4 scale... I mounted on my bike
just to test thrust... I found at 8,000 rpms it produced 12 lbs thrust... I never found
time to build a 1/4 balsa P51 but I did buy an 1/4 electric foamy P51D and modified it into a P51C Razor Back...

You know, if you said this 9 pages ago, I think most people would have agreed. Bikes running open or nearly open pipes do discredit the bike community. Heck, same thing in the 60s and 70s with cars. No place for open pipes except a race track, no matter the vehicle.
In fact in regards to another post in here, if not done right, most will lose power, not gain power.


Said it on the first page, actually...post #3743577, 5/29, 5:33am, and again two posts later.


Nope, I cant find it, no big deal, I DO agree about running open pipes and that goes for any vechicle not just bikes. ...

I copied the post, cant see you ref about open pipes except the one I replied too...

Mickey D doesnt sell more burgers then all other burger places combined. :eek:)

Im not saying there isnt better, I dont think that can be said about any vehicle, we all have preferences. Im just stating a fact that more people choose to buy Harley then all other makers combined in the USA over 600cc. Facts are facts.
