Why would any of you turn up the radio on a sportbike. Some of them sound great. My KTM RC8 is a V-Twin and made in Austria but it is a sportbike and it sounds badass. ha ha you can't call it a rice burner !

We do a lot of four wheeling trail riding. Cruising along at 10-20 mph. Aint nothing worse than being out there in the forest when some dick head come by with his phucking stereo blasting some heavy metal bull ****. Why dont all you dip ***** use ear buds, no one wants to listen to your crap.

The radio is recorded music, even if it were from a live concert.

That HD is music to my ears, and LIVE music at that!
