Does whine drivr you nuts?

[eazyduzzit]

I have read tons of reviews about the bike. 99% of them were positive. I want the bike so bad I can taste it, but I've ridden 2 of them (the 2nd one belonged to a friend of mine). His didn't whine nearly as bad as the one I was thinking of buying and it had Bub pipes on it. I think what I'll do is keep looking until I find one that isn't as bad.

 

My wife went on the test ride with me, and she said it sounded like the Jetson's sky car. I guess I could just pretend I'm flying to Spacely Sprockets.

I never noticed the whine I guess, but now after reading this thread I am fixated on it.

 

I suppose I'll have to group ride behind some Harley's with blow-through pipes to cure myself of that and appreciate my quiet, quiet bike.

Well, when I get the fever I can't be stopped. I test drove another RSTD today and no whine whatsoever. My wife Karen went with me and after about 3 miles into the test ride it hit me... no whine!!! I bought it on the spot. So now I'm online looking at chrome goodies for it, even though I've no money left.

Good for you and here's wishing you the best. These are the best bike going in my opinion - chirp, whine, or not!

Thanks Bobby! I've been riding it 3 days now and I'm loving it... It seems to ride better every time I get on it.

We're not talking big bucks here for a fix. I bought an "I" basket for $225 and paid my mechanic $100 for the install. Worth paying to stop.....me....whining! and a lot cheaper than talking yourself into looking at another bike.

I know they're not the only ones. I was fueling up beside a Gold Wing the other day, and he finished first and pulled out. I could hear his bike whine all the way up the interstate on ramp.
