What does the hive mind think of the Yoshimura RS3?

[the Ferret]

Tell you the truth I can't remember. I have been to all 3 rallys and no doubt some after market pipes have been there. I have ridden quite a bit with Empty Sea who has a Yosh complete system, and Empty Seas Yosh is not obnoxious to me, but it is louder than I'd care to live with were it on my own bike. I will and have followed him, but I refuse to ride behind Harleys with loud pipes. In the past (35 - 45years ago) I had a Honda CB750 with a Kerker 4 into 1 and a Suzuki GS1100E with a Vance and Hine's 4 into 1. I got more than my fill of droning headers during those 10 years. What sounded great in my mid 20s to mid thirties doesn't sound so great to me anymore. I could probably live with the sound of a Staintune because it is not much louder than stock. But that's about it. Maybe my tinnitis damaged ears are just too sensitive anymore.

I don't fault others for wanting to hear their exhausts, I just don't care to hear mine anymore.
