    Question for the rice riders

    As mentioned earlier, I got a new bike today. I have never owned a bike with a tach, so I have a question.

    When you are in your top gear, and doing 100 MPH, how many RPM's are you turning?

      I had a MAzda RX-7 (13B), once, and when she was doin' 7,500 in 4th gear, I was doing about 118mph.

              I didn't mean to, but with the windshield and fairing it just kind of happened without my knowing it.

                  You're staying under 7500 rpm though, right?

                          That rubber mounted motor is pretty sweet. Did you know that they have made the engine and tranny as one unit now? I did not know that.

                              serious question for harley owners..

                              how do the pipes pass california emissions/noise?

                              if i built a truck that was that loud, it'd never be allowed on the market.

                              whats the difference?

                                      There is no emissions test for bikes, so that part of the question is moot. As far as the noise issue, not all of the pipes out there are legal.

                                      My Heritage I put a poring bar through the muffler that was a smaller diameter than a policeman's night stick, which is the instrument most use to determine if the baffles have been removed. Very few cops have noise meters, and even if you get caught (I have) you just throw the stock mufflers on, get the ticket signed off, pay the $11 and go home and put the exhaust back on.

                                      The 2006 I bought is VERY quiet. Too quiet. After I get the motor broken in (probably next week) I will take it back and get a new exhaust and air filter installed to help it breathe a little bettter.

                                          After market exhaust or altering the baffling. Any serious rider can't stand to much noise hour after hour.

                                                      the noise from harleys when i'm on the streets makes me want to hurt people.

                                                      its not so much the noise, its the dickheads that rev them up while idling up to a stop.

                                                          SOS - in case you had not figured out yet, you are on ignore. Besides, owning a bike for one week hardly qualifies you to get into discussions about motorcycles.

                                                                          Redline is at 11kprm. Much smaller engine than yours and a Vtwin though, so probably not comparable to real sports bikes.

                                                                          Tops out at about 133mph.

                                                                                                  My 86 has 177K+ miles on it. I have ridden from LA to Daytona and back, LA to Sturgis and back, LA to Bahia de Los Angeles and back, LA to the Oregon border and back all numerous times.

                                                                                                  I only wear a helmet in helmet law states and successfully beat a ticket for not wearing a helmet in CA when the law first came out.

                                                                                                  I have been riding Harleys since 1971, so I think it is safe to say I have significantly more miles with no helmet than with, and I only have 50 miles on a bike with a CD player.

                                                                                                  I love the sound of my roaring pipes, whether on my 42 flathead, 49 stroker panhead, 68 shovel, or 86 Evo.

                                                                                                  My helmet does not cover my ears, and I can ride all day, every day, and have done so many times.

                                                                                                      Redline is at 11kprm. Much smaller engine than yours and a Vtwin though, so probably not comparable to real sports bikes.

                                                                                                      Tops out at about 133mph.

                                                                                                      My 2006 was at 4k at 100 MPH. I believe the bike would blow up if I took it to 11,000 RPM. Not sure it would even be possible without some major mods . . . like a new computer chip for starters . . even then, not sure it would go to 11k

                                                                                                                  The Honda VTX1300 which is a v-twin cruiser like your bike is running 3000rpm in 5th gear at 70mph. It also has a single-pin crankshaft like your bike and actually feels pretty smooth at that speed.

                                                                                                                  As for the engine & tranny being one piece, thats very unusual for a Harley.. are you sure you just dont have a solid primary cover connecting your seperate engine and tranny? Thats not so uncommon.

I don't know when they started it with the big twins, possibly this year. It surprised me too. Not sure how much I like the idea, but they say it is supposed to be better.

                                                                                                                          It only has a 5 speed, but they say I can add a 6th gear for a couple grand. I am debating whether to paint the bike or not. If I do, I may go ahead and change it to a 6 speed since I will have to pull it to paint . . . unless I leave the frame black, and just paint everything else.

                                                                                                                          It matches the Charger so well, I am really up in the air about it.

I don't know when they started it with the big twins, possibly this year. It surprised me too. Not sure how much I like the idea, but they say it is supposed to be better.

I am a heavy rider in all weather on the east coast. I'm 50 yrs old and have owned at least one bike since high school.

                                                                                                                                              What don't you understand?

                                                                                                                                              Some after market systems are louder than stock?

                                                                                                                                              Altering or removing the stock baffle increases noise?

                                                                                                                                              Some of us don't trailer our bikes to events or putt in traffic all day. Or live in helmet law states. When riding hour after hour who wants to listen to loud deafening exhaust.

                                                                                                                                              Then again I never owned a scooter with a CD player .....

                                                                                                                                              That being said .... just ride safe ok?

                                                                                                                                              I dunno man. I put some V&H pipes on my bike a few years ago and its so loud I'm not even sure its legal. But when I'm riding, especially on the highway I can barely hear them. I know the cars around me can hear them though, a good twist of the throttle is as good or better than the horn.

I put some V&H pipes on my bike a few years ago and its so loud I'm not even sure its legal. But when I'm riding, especially on the highway I can barely hear them. I know the cars around me can hear them though, a good twist of the throttle is as good or better than the horn.

                                                                                                                                                      That too . . . however, I have to say, the horn on this new bike is probably as loud as the one on my car.

I don't know when they started it with the big twins, possibly this year. It surprised me too. Not sure how much I like the idea, but they say it is supposed to be better.

                                                                                                                                                                  It only has a 5 speed, but they say I can add a 6th gear for a couple grand. I am debating whether to paint the bike or not. If I do, I may go ahead and change it to a 6 speed since I will have to pull it to paint . . . unless I leave the frame black, and just paint everything else.

I believe the bike would blow up if I took it to 11,000 RPM. Not sure it would even be possible without some major mods . . . like a new computer chip for starters . . even then, not sure it would go to 11k

When i ride my shovel or evo i cant believe the diiference in power. I have 46k miles on my dyna and the thing just keeps going and going and going and never once have i had a problem with it.

Plus harleys make their power at low rpm's unlike the crothc rockets that make thiers at the high rpm range

THe closest I ever got to doing anything like that was with my stroker with the lightened and balanced flywheels, but I doubt it ever went over 6k
