I had a sportster and a couple of xs650s before purchasing my '14 cb1100 standard...I was shocked at first at how quiet the cb was and really missed the sportster's growl and the xs650s' throatiness. But the quietness grew on me. And with a couple of friends developing tinnitus I knew I didn't want overbearing loud anymore. But with my recent purchase of a W800, I'm enjoying a bit more engine music--it's more there than the cb, a slight agreeable rumble.
