This is my first bike with a catalytic converter. I have to admit sometimes I miss the smell of non-catalytic converted exhaust. Anyone else miss the smell?
Nope.
I grew up riding 2-smokers and don't miss having my clothes smell like unburned hydrocarbons.
Yes.
And as for Honda supposedly designing in the cooling pings in.I've only heard it once after a really pressing run across Rt 50 in WV, a nice 50 mile stretch of curves.
