Thanks for the link dirtdreamer, I will register there as well

Bill, mine has an arrow racing pipe and its very loud but I like the tone plus its nice that people will likely hear me coming. It doesn't really bother me likely because my last bike was a Buell XB12s with the Buell racing pipe (pretty much open).

 

Congrats on the new ride and welcome to KF. Any pics of the new ride?

I do not have the ER6, I am still using the EX500 as my daily driver. So I can only imagine what this ride could be like.

 

Its still bone stock except it now has an arrow pipe on it.

 

Hi Tylertech. I've never been into loud, even before I became a senior citizen, although I've always felt sort of neutral about the noise issue. But wanting a smaller, sportier bike to complement my '96 Royal Star, I decided to buy a 2006 Yamaha FZ6, and I really got hooked on how smoothly and quietly powerful it is. So after I had my son pick up the ER for me in Illinois(he loved the sound, by the way), I was sort of shocked at how much noise the racing muffler generated.
I checked out your photo. My bike looks exactly the same, but I have added a small windscreen to cut down on high speed buffeting. I wonder if you might decide to do the same after you ride yours for a while.

Hmmm. I think I did that wrong, but check and see if my response got posted to your last message (you mentioned your Buell XB12s).

Your post showed up.

I stole the pic from the facebook of the guy I bought the bike from and its before he put the arrow pipe on it

I will get some better pictures soon and I have a few small things planned for the bike, one is possibly swapping to a round headlight (more old school) and adding a windscreen. Like this *link on zx6r.com*

I'm pretty happy with the sound, its not cruiser loud for sure but it has a deep sound. As soon as I get it tagged and registered I will clean it up and post a video clip as it seems there are not many decent sound clips on youtube of the exhaust.

 

Hey guys. I've got an ER6n. Just bought it yesterday. It's a 2006 model in absolute MINT condition with an Arrow performance exhaust. I don't have pics of it yet because I'm picking it up on Saturday but suffice to say it looks exactly like this one (except for the Arrow and mine has a top box since it's for commuting):



Can't wait to ride this badboy.
