Well, correct me if i am wrong but it is a big step to go from 87db (95
model, maby 96 too) to 80 db.
The FIMs proposal was to make bikes more silent, but with a limmit of 82 db.
Members of the parliament participated in a demonstration, were 2 bikes
passed in front of them and they couldnt tell the 80 db from the 82 db one!
>Enginers will compensate for it.
By making a bigger exhaust pipe wich means more weight, or less power, or
probably both.
What comes next? Maby aan @ with full body fairring for to kill the engine
noise?

From my experience, each time a new law on bikes is put to use it means i
cant do something i like, or i have to do something i dont like!
I never saw a law about bikes that made me feel safer or even a bit more
respected.

I see in my papers that my bike has 87 db when its new!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet no @ has less than 82db. If anyone can say thats not true, please say so.
What i see behind this new law is an effort to make more business for big
business and less for small ones!
The antitampering law will force small manufacturers of aftermarket parts
out of business, and spare parts prices will rise conciderably!
Noise laws and exaust gas laws will hit small bikes and especially 2
strokes, and make all other bikes more expencive!
Maby one low isnt such a bad think, but look were it is going to!
Do you want to follow this direction?
Personaly, i am against it and i will try to slow down the changes as much
as i can, since i feel that sooner or later we will go to that direction,
and i prefair LATER!
