Is it just me or does the factory exhausts just have no "guts". Someone on this site best described it as sounding like a sewing machine. He is right!!! I realize that it's not going to sound like a HD, but It just sounds so "quiet", you hardly feel as though you're on a powerful motorcycle. Other riders think I'm on a Pacific Coast. I test drove a BMW KT 1200 GT. It had a great exhausts sound; like Porsche. Ok, there are the staintunes, etc costing almost 1000.00 for a piece of rolled metal. I do believe the ST should sound more "GT" comming from the factory!!! I girlfriend likes it because she can talk away and I can hear her mile after mile!!! I love this bike otherwise, does anyone else feel this way?
