I've bought my Tiger from German guy and I don't know if he doesn't mess something
with exhaust. It's really annoying, it's just loud and without any bass, just like an empty pipe.
I like quiet exhaust just like I had on my honda xx, that I owned before Tiger.
It was excellent for avoiding policemen, while with other motos they hear you 1 km before,
I usually surprised them and they have no time to manage to raise hand-radar hie hie

Also for long trips (800 km/day and more) silent exhaust is good to have...
If I want to make noise around, I'd buy a harley

A Tiger I have for long tourism.
