I prefer the quiet. I just recently replaced my stock exhaust and Im still not used to all the racket.

I think I'm going to leave my next bike's exhaust stock. On my 10, I have a spare OEM exhaust just sitting in a box in the basement. So, if I want to go back, it's a piece of cake. My current setup (A&R baffles) isn't horribly loud though.

I have Vance and Hines Big Shot exhaust on the 109-R....not obnoxiously loud...but a pleasing (to me) THUMP.....I love them. "Quiet" V-Twins just don't work....they gotta have some bark.

Depends on the bike. My exhaust isn't too loud unless you really get on it (Full exhaust) but I was really just trying to squeeze as much power out as possible since I'll have it for probably another 3-4 years.
My buddy had a RC51 that had twin FMF pipes. Crazy loud but I loved them. If I had a dual sport I'd want to make them quieter for sneaking down some powerlines.

 Never got old seeing Harley guys do double-takes when I pulled in on it - really hard not to be 'that guy' constantly blipping the throttle on it.  Too damn loud for 'normal' around town riding, but sometimes who fuckin' cares?  I miss that bike sometimes...   The 2-muthers on my VFR is kinda loud, but not in the same league as the RC - though still fairly deep & sweet V4 music. I likey, but I try to stay civil around civilized folk in-town & esp. in neighborhoods. In an inline-4, I prefer a reasonably quiet pipe - they so often just sound buzzy & ridiculous with a very open/loud pipe & not sweet like a V tends to, IMO. Some sound decent - I got lucky with the one that came on my GSXR since it's decent-sounding & not terribly loud (I'd switch it back to stock otherwise). I agree that it's more a matter of how you ride/shift that calls attention to yourself, even with a stock pipe (sportbike, anyway). I do think a super-quiet 'sleeper' like a PC800 would be a hoot though! (rode with a guy a couple weekends ago that hauled-ass on one, and you could hardly tell when it was on - like a damn Accord...  )
