#32Terrific looking bike. But > “MOTOROiD, stand up!” Why do we have to shove the voice assist in every conceivable gadget adding yet another point of failure :-|
Allow me to present to you Optimus Prime with voice controls:

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
Isn't louder == safer?
No, cars are isolated. Safe driving practices are safe. Like knowing the perception psychology that makes it hard for cars to see you and try to counter that. https://youtu.be/x94PGgYKHQ0
Purely anecdotally I used to have a motorcycle that after about a year had the muffler need replacement. I was a poor student and so bought a fake one instead that was just a muffler shaped pipe.
The difference was immediate and extremely noticable, the number of near misses went down a huge amount and the few times people got a little close I could just chuck the clutch in and give it a good rev to scare anyone off.
My biking days are done for now but if I go back I will not be going back quietly.

#34Wow, this looks great. Straight out of some sci-fi anime I absolutely love motorcycles. Sadly, most people into seem to be in the game just for the sound alone. I have very, very strong feelings about the vast majority of this "community" and cannot wait for electric to take over. Sorry for the rant. I have to endure a lot of racers during all hours. It's hardly pleasent
Worst thing is that they are ruining it for everyone. Loud pipes, racing on the streets - causes more and more noise laws and motorcycle bans, making it harder for everyone. Also looking forward to ride electric. Currently, the range sadly doesn't enable what I want to do with my bike - ride it out of town, to the mountains, where there is no infrastructure. But hopefully soon. For inner city commuting, electric bike…
They've taken the significantly-emptier streets of midtown-Manhattan and decided it's their playground evenings and late nights. Most of them are coming in from New Jersey. Usually it's 30 or 40 of them at a time and they ride extremely dangerously in addition to being loud.

#35I can’t wait for electric motorbikes to be more diverse and advanced. I used to be a “my loud exhaust helps me to be seen” kinda guy. Until one day, sat in standstill traffic in my car on the M74 motorway just outside Glasgow, a rider on a BMW S1000XR, with the same loud exhaust as on mine, filtered past the window and I didn’t hear him until he was level with my rear passenger door. Exhausts sound great, i love the…
> “my loud exhaust helps me to be seen” People are very good at justifying thier anti-social behaviour to themselves.
There are scumbags out their whom will drop ball bearings out there vechicle on bikers they don't like.
I friend whom told me about two incidents.
I will never understand that behavior. In my life, the loud sound of a bike is my least concern.
Plus, in my passive aggressive wealthy county, a loud bike is a F---you to my phony liberal hypocritical neighbors.

Isn't louder == safer?
Louder == annoying
Louder == I get woken up at 2am
There’s loud, and then there’s the thunderous roar that some of these bikes make because the owner has obvious mental issues.

#37Oh god, what a beautiful machine. I desire it greatly.

As well as everybody who is not currently in traffic that also gets to 'enjoy' your loud exhaust. And needlessly revving the engine when standing still is also probably in some way related to traffic safety.

This is a very strange justification for having an obnoxiously loud vehicle.
If you want to be seen wearing bright leds.

To me the sound of those big bikes is a form of terrorism. They rise my blood pressure, increase stress levels and make me hate. Try living somewhere where every 20 minutes such bikes make the windows of your flat shake and you can't hear your TV or your partner talking until the bike is gone. Why do I have to suffer this every day of my life? I can't wait until the ICE is part of our primitive past.
