[BSJ]

Interesting. I would have thought for it to be stealthy it would have been better to keep it a secret!

Chucky Norris didn't need no stealthy bike

His made all kinda noise & had rockets too!!

Cool looking bike. I doubt Chuck Norris needs it though Mania. The man has a Grizzly bear carpet in his living room. The bear isn't dead, it's just too afraid to move.

ba dum tssshhhh

Man oh man that noise! I could only watch 30 seconds. It's just like being in the Dentist's chair. I absolutely hate it!

PS: Plus it has no soul....I'll be sticking with gasolene engines for as long as I can.

I'm enlisting.

The problem I imagine with a silent bike is the wildlife might not hear you coming

They need to make that rear sprocket a bit bigger.

Well I got a charge out of it.

But yes it does sound like the missus vacuuming to annoy me while I am trying to watch MotoGP.

My reaction to your post:

"It can't be THAT bad" *Click* "Oh god, my teeth!!!!!"

I think that clip kind of over emphasizes the sound because it is an on board camera & who knows where it is mounted

They dont sound as bad whizzing by

But yeah still not a roar of pistons

OK, you may have a helmet on but your ears are as close as the onboard camera!
