I have never been keen on very noisy bikes, as I use my bikes for everyday transport. But last year I bought a small bike for town transport, being Euro 5, it was whisper quiet, eventually I knocked out a couple of baffles, not because I wanted to make more noise, but because I got fed up with smartphone zombies stepping out directly in front of me.
I sold my scooter to a buddy bcuz he lost his license in a freak drinking occurrence.. when it was mine, I put a foghorn on it for that exact same reason😂
Just buy a new "muffler" that has no muffling whatsoever so it looks like it has a muffler, but is basically straight piped. Then you can say "I don't know why its so loud, the muffler is on."
Sounded great, like a proper motorcycle. I've got an x-pipe and British Customs predator pros on my Triumph t120 and it sounds great - increased power too.
There is nothing like a Triumph muffler sweet sound. I put a pair of Hooker headers on my CL450 Honda, no one would ride with me I put the stock mufflers back on.
Anyone who is fortunate enough to have a vintage Triumph, deserves the right to run it however they want. I was around in the 50's and 60's when Triumphs were truly simply great motorcycles. I am 82, and my 99 Harley Softail Custom has open drag pipes. But I live a couple of miles from a small town. But I have a soft spot in me for vintage Triumphs. I have ridden many but the 650c with the high pipes, single carb, and knobby tires was a hoot to ride in the dirt or on the road.
I prefer fitting rear footrests at 45 degrees angle so they folds upwards/backwards. Back in the sixties many of us had straight pipes. But they shall be longer. Otherwise you gets less power. Pipes about the length of the muffler. Also bigger main jets. Got bad hearing back then. Funny thing, fitted an original muffler instead of an aftermarket to the Vincent. Much louder and plus 7 Mph top speed.
Nice one, you genuinely are trying to show how dire things of the countries and it's citizens. Economically and other aspects. At this time the future doesn't look good. First thing. About solving a problem is to acknowledge it. It's doesn't look like the media wants to do , I hope your channel expand and bring awareness and opportunity to people...❤️
My first investment with Mrs Shelia gave me $24,300 and that has made me invest without the fear of losing, I got four of my friends that I referred to her and they are making profit just like me. May God bless Mrs Shelia
Personally as a first time investor, I started trading with Mrs Shelia With $1,000 now my portfolio is worth $5,400 within the space of few months trading with her.
Interesting. I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself. thanks this is really helpful for me.
I have the fat vintage style Harley fishtails on my 1965 TR6. Defy sounds real good without pissing off your neighbors. Add a bike must have some back pressure to work properly.
Are you near Portland now? You should meet up with Mike from Mighty Garage youtube channel and do a video. He's got some cool Triumphs, Nortons and Vincents. I'm pretty sure he's in the Portland area. You guys could do a cool cross over episode. At the very least, he's a good guy to know if he's local to you.
Its always fun to hear what your bike sounds like without mufflers on, then the practical side (or tinnitus) kicks in. Thanks as always for the vid. I'm looking for an old Triumph any tips on which ones are good to pick up?
Probably the most plentiful models are the T140 Bonneville 750s from the 70s and early 80s, which are cheaper than the 60s 650s, certainly here in the UK. You can still buy almost all the parts for these, new, off the shelf from quite a few specialists, so they are a very practical classic to own (I've had my 78 T140V for 29 years now). I tried starting mine up a few years ago without the silencers (mufflers) fitted to see what it sounded like, but, to be honest, it wasn't much louder than with the Norton style pea-shooters it normally has (they are straight-through anyway).
A straight pipe is loud. However if you really want to hear something great, put a set of Megaphones on the straight pipe. I have seen many of the old Triumph's, Norton Manx, Commando's, BSA Gold Stars, AJS, Benneli, etc race at the Vintage TT races. You really should find the closest Vintage TT race and you will be amazed! I put a set of performance TT pipes on my Bonneville with built in silencers. The silencers are short little pea shooter type mufflers. They are very loud when I ride hard. Not too bad if I take it easy. The pipe is oversize on these pipes. I had to rejet up three sizes on account of the pipes and K+N filters. You can gain a nice amount of power by improving the breathing on your bike.
They run leaner and pump harder with out the muffler. Your twin is a slight change compared to a what a 1977 Honda 750Four four into one changes to with the muffler removed. It turns into a Lion from a pussy cat.
Had a Mk 2 Bsa Spitfire. and would run it like this until my confidence would fail .police were very hot back then . but if you did intend to run straight through pipes all the time you would have to alter the jetting a little !
If you'll drive around with these pipes maybe your neighbors will play the famous cover song "Burning down the bike" by Talking Heads. 😅 (You have a very smart wife)
Yes, it was fun for a short while for you and your daughter, but no mufflers kills your torque on low revs and during acceleration and the feeling the bike got faster is just a feeling nothing more. Makes your fuel consumption lower as well and certainly annoys neighbors, and everybody riding / driving behind you. Other than that original Triumph exhaust has such a great sound not too laud but with this bass undertone in it. Makes it sound like a much bigger motorcycle than it really is.
@@jessiehughes9432 my apologies sir. I am sorry. Im not as knowledgable in the motorcycle world. I wish to be though. I want to buy a 1968 or 69 triumph 650 once Im done with college and have a good job

They help in traffic too 😂 🤘

Love that unique Triumph tick-over sound. Way back in 1979 I had a 1970 T100P and I too removed the mufflers. Loved it. Greetings from Ireland.
Ten years earlier I waas doing the same with my 1958 350. It seems that those lovely Triumph twins make the same noise regardless of capacity.
@@johnmadden2421nothing like the beautiful sound of a Triumph being set free...

Back in the day, everyone ran shorties on Triumph, BSA, Honda CB's.
I did the opposite of this to my bike 4 months ago, making it less louder, because i need to go out at 5am and doesn't want to wake the neighbor up.
Hey that's valid!
@@bartmotorcycle Yeah
I'd say it depends on how much you like them)))

Just running headers sounded great that’s the plan for my 73 bonneville
Love the sound of the straight pipes. Sounds like my dad's 650 bsa with megaphone pips

I love the uneven idling, like a proper idle should sound!😍👌
The stock exhaust system sounds good to me. The straight pipe wasn't all that loud and like the saying goes "Loud pipes save lives".
It sounded great. But loud bikes drive me nuts.
sounds like music to my ears

I think the later Daytona's are great options for not to much money, 70 to 73. Prices are getting crazy though for all of them

Had a Mk 2 Bsa Spitfire. and would run it like this until my confidence would fail .police were very hot back then . but if you did intend to run straight through pipes all the time you would have to alter the jetting a little !
I kept an oil pan under my Bonnie, too.
ahh!..that sweet sound of open pipes on a triumph
If you'll drive around with these pipes maybe your neighbors will play the famous cover song "Burning down the bike" by Talking Heads. 😅
(You have a very smart wife)
I wanna see your Honda straight piped next.
Put some emgo shorty mufflers on it, you'll like um, good vid, bike sounded great
Those old Triumphs actually sound good with straight pipes
But you need to buy aftermarket pipes that do not shrink down in diameter & run pipes that go past the rear axle for the best sound and performance.
Cheers from France !
You can get drag pipes for that..they look stock...but are straight pipes...i highly suggest em🤫😛
That’s good sounding
The footpeg rubber is removable and replacable.
Sounds great
Getting a bit rebellious are we Bart?
Keep it up Bart 👍
Now take the air filter off and put on a velocity stack!
First!
I think it sounds great!
I would totally do this 😂 👍
I’ve worked with triumphs a lot in my youth you lose a small amount of power with straight pipes
That was really loud but now imagine taking off the Flux Capacitor. It would be really loud than
Yeah I'll never take off the flux capacitor. It's bad for the environment
Tradition says you got to add TT megaphones
Save some money and get a motorcycle lift thank me later. The cheap ones for like 450$ work great.
This is a retro bike and the matching retro sound
Sounds better than a Harley...

Now you have no necessary Back Pressure… it will not run good without it.
Take this rubber from steel "stick" and rotate only rubber part not the whole peg.
Go easy on that transmission...the 500s had soft tranny's,I had a 1969.Looks exactly like my first road bike.
Im almost certain this is a 650, not a 500

If you're really going to do that you need to fatten up the mix a bit. It'll run lean and that's not good for motorcycles.
Sound great with the stock pipes.....also think of your hearing.....ok while your young.....but it will harm you.
i had tt pipes put on my 69 Bonneville sound the hp
turn the foot rest ribber over without turning the foot peg they are left or right there is not one specific for the right or one specific for the left they go either side its just the rubber needs rotating drrrrr
twist the rubber around on the foot peg then it would be right
Definitely straight pipes or a more aggressive muffler than what you had on there, lol.
How dare you put those suppressors back on that beautiful bike...dont you know the whole country is in turmoil bcuz of suppression?!!😁
Mufflers sound good. Too loud without them.
