December 25, 200520 yr we all know, the 4 RT is NOT one of the quietest bikes. To reduce the noice, we found a very cheap, but also very effektiv solution. You take a (in Germany we say) "tea-egg", drill out the holes a little bit, put it on the muffler with silicone. The sound is much more better absorded, like an enduro.

December 25, 200520 yr mmmmm, has to be a p*** take. Buy a four and a half grand bike, built by the most tecnologically advanced automotive engineering giant in the world and then further developed by the best riders on the planet for two years... ......improved by brazing an egg cup onto the end of the exhaust?? Whatver happened to German engineering...
December 25, 200520 yr What other bike gives you the opportunity to have breakfast on the move. Place egg in holder. Ride section 1 Turn egg. Ride section 2 Stop for brekkie! Done Whats wrong wi that? These Honda folk think of everything.
December 26, 200520 yr could you not make it do the " egg holder" went inwords rather that outwords , wold look a tot better

Maybe if Honda had thought of it then people wouldn't have to go to such measures! Edited December 26, 200520 yr by t-shock 250
December 27, 200520 yr Maybe if Honda had thought of it ....Yeah, something they obviously overlooked. Exhaust and silencer design, technology and development has always been Honda's weakpoint...bet they never even considered it when tweaking the required engine characteristics...
December 27, 200520 yr I didn't actually mean the "tea egg" thing! I meant the noise issue generally!
December 27, 200520 yr I meant the noise issue generally! So did I. Honda just never seem to consider these things when building new motors these days - what with all the emissions and noise restrictions imposed on them. Don't know how they get away with it? Now you mention it, my s2000 does seem a bit raucus around 8000rpm!
