I hear ya. I got back into riding in the last couple of years as I assessed my wants/needs. Had an Indian Scout with Crusher pipes on it, annoying from the get go, the drone in my helmet as well. Sure it can sound cool at times but the noise was more annoying the more I rode. Once I slipped onto the B, game over. I prefer hearing my tunes, the smooth motor and no obnoxious barking of the pipes. To each their own but I prefer technology, innovation and the calm of my B. It's the Yin and the Yang of motorcycling. Harleys are beautiful works of art, albeit nostalgic classics of yesteryear, while the B is just the Ferarri look with the innovation edge that I prefer.
