Yes loud pipes suck no matter what bike they are on. Funny thing is most people with loud pipes thinks their's aren't loud "but just has a better tone". It's the other idiots bike who is too loud.
I have yet to be on a motorcycle forum in the last 25 years where half of the owners first mod, is to either drill their existing pipes or buy after market pipes so they "can hear" their bikes so that they sound like a motorcycle and not a sewing machine (or George Jetson's car in once case lol). Personally I like the sound of early Goldwings.
The new Hyundai Ionic 5 electric car is coming out with a 3 mode sound system to make the electric car sound like a regular car, and I'll bet some electronics nut is going to figure out a way to make it sound like a fart box.
