Normally this might be considered splitting hairs and overly nit-picking, but we all know that Honda engineers spent an obsessive amount of effort to get it 'just right'. So I just want to know if this is the expected end result? Because if it is normal, and expected, I would like to know if a pipe or a tune can change it.

The audio in the video is plain awful and my bike sounds nothing like that. Go to 6:12 of this video to hear what it should sound like:

ROFL Yep, I heard that "sound" just after 6:12, especially when I first got it. Still do now and then under heavy throttle application... Clap

This video also gives some idea of how the CB sounds: Thumbs Up
