At work today one of our engineers told me to come out to my bike with keys in hand at break time. When I did I was met by him and a few others. He opened up a fancy case and pulled out a really expensive looking Db meter. I fired it up and he began taking readings.
During the warm up period my bike put out an impressive 108 db.
When it idled down finally, it registered about 96-97 db.
He then made the mistake of kneeling down near the rear of my bike and told me to goose it a little...I think he jumped about a foot off the ground. It was great. With a good snap to the throttle it reached 125 db!
thought this was pretty cool because I wondered how loud they really are.
Oh yeah, I have Cobra spdstr shorts...
