I would think the AMA might get involved in this. Watch this post.....

 

I think the AMA is with the manufacturers.
Loud bikes are not socially acceptable.
Joe citizen doesn't want to hear them.
You can thank harley & metric cruiser riders and sport bike guys with racing pipes for this.
On the other hand,if they are going to enforce sound regulations the sound limit should be raised a little.

sounds reasonable with thumpers. 96db at 2,000 rpm's is our limit.

 

Chances are that I may be close to meet the new regulations for the streets (which are 100db at 5k rpm). Which is just under most track standards of 102db.

edit: The limit has officially been lowered yet again it appears for this track.
