I mostly agree. Once while out walking, a Goldwing passed by and I'm not kidding, all I heard was the tire noise!
That is impressive. And I like that. On the other hand, the dual exhaust on my '59 Chev (with QUIET mufflers) has a pleasing tone that will NOT offend anyone trying to enjoy their own property or space in peace and quiet, while at the same time not being utterly silent like that Goldwing.
