Where's the noise?

Last summer I was in a public park with the 1100 backed up fairly close to the back of a park bench.
When I came back to the bike an elderly couple were sitting on the bench, and as I suited up to leave, they also got up to leave.
Other very loud bikes had come and gone so they obviously wanted to get away from the muffler blast.
I told them my bike was quiet and not to leave. I started the engine, they smiled and sat back down.
