They probably try to makeup for the quietness with the loud colors they wear...lol The guys on the crotch rockets scare the hell outta me. I'm riding along in the twisties enjoying the scenery and bamm, two or more blow by flying. Some of them are pretty loud. To answer your question, I don't understand anybody on a motorcycle of any brand riding in someones blind spot's. I always make sure I'm where they can see me. I never ride door to door with a cager unless we are in heavy traffic.

BMW is introducing an inline 6 cylinder touring bike. Probably still won't be loud.

I actually had a BMW rider wave at me the other day! I didn't think they knew how.
