First time for everything
I had the misfortune today of stopping by an out of town dealership. I was just basically killing time while the wife was doing some other shopping. I had a salesman come up to me while looking over some of there inventory and he started asking me questions, typical stuff. You know how it goes.... Do you ride? Do you have a bike now? Blah blah blah. So he started to ask me some questions about my bike and what I'd done to it. After some conversation we start talking audio. This God of a salesman was nice enough to inform me that Biketronics equipment was "total junk" as he put it. Now I'm not claiming that there isn't anything in the audio world that isn't higher quality or louder than hybrid or Biketronics components but "total junk" really? That's the first time I'd ever heard that... I think this guys arrogance spoke for itself. He claims he has $5000 in a focal/JL setup which I'm sure sounds awesome but junk kinda threw me for a loop. He claimed he could out power a Biketronics system at 1/3 volume. That's when I asked him where his bike was? Of course it was at home.

At 5000.00 he better over power it at 1/4 the volume!!! 
Ride --- you gotta remember some audio systems like BT's are designed and meant for the average rider who wants good tunes while he RIDES. It's not a system to win a parking lot competition. On the other spectrum a 5000.00 system surely has speakers on it that you can't hear while riding in the bags....maybe the dude has some JL subs with a JL 600/4 pushing them....that's $$$$. So yeah a 5000.00 competition system should blow past a set of 7.1's and 6.5's.
Here something that was "first time for everything". The LOUDEST bike I've heard recently that sounded AWESOME. I mean this thing was so loud the hairs on my neck stoop up like I was at a concert.....it was Road King with only speakers in the bags. That thing destroyed my bike.

By all mean like I said, I'm not trying to say that Bt is the best, loudest,or most expensive out there. In the audio world I know the moon is the limit. I think more than anything I've never heard a bike that makes Bt sound like "junk". Like you said haze a guy can fill his saddlebags and touring pack up with subs and amps and have a total parking lot pounder and I've heard some awesome ones but that doesn't mean a practical system is "junk". That like saying a Fuelmoto 107 or a s&s124 is junk becouse now there is a t143. I've heard junk before and Biketronics is by no means "junk"!

I'd love to catch up with someone like that,, and play them side by side while going down the road @ 80 or more. As mentioned above, there's a HUGE difference between a "Competition" sound system, and one meant to ride,, some of those bikes in the competition are hauled everywhere I bet. I'd love to see the odometer on them!
I bet by the time they're 5 yrs old,, they don't have 10k miles on them,,,
