True that, other than when at idle (1400 RPM) I run it at 3000 RPM minimum, it's barely ticking over and making little noise. The bill as written states that my bike would be tested at 3500 RPM, but even then, it's not making much noise. With the stock exhaust, even at WOT, it makes more intake noise than exhaust. I'm certainly not targeted by this bill.

Whatcha got? Mine's a 2001 ZX9R. The only thing loud about it is the candy lime paint...


I agree with who it's being aimed at. Frankly, I think it's richly deserved. A couple of these straight pipe morons go up the hill in front of my house at WOT all Summer. It's annoying during the day, but just plain rude in the middle of the night. $500 fine sounds about right.
