I like the note of the R18's. Remind me of an old airplane.

[@xhaustvids32]

Agreed

[@andyjarvisio5337]

I’ve had a couple of test rides on R18’s and I love them. The engine is crazy, so much character and pulls like a train.

[@lorenmars5244]

Well made vid. I think they both sound great. I like pipes that are just loud enough to hear the RPMs. Loud but not very very loud. I'd be happy with either. I'm keeping the V+H for a while. Thanks for the well made vid.

[@xhaustvids32]

I like the V&H as well. However the do not fit on the classic.

[@lorenmars5244]

@@xhaustvids32 I see. I'm shopping for an R18 Classic. It comes with V+H pipes stock. I hope they sound as good as the slip on pipe in this video.

Wouha😂 it's realy loud !! I'm love it Good video !!!!

[@xhaustvids32]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@frankfurther3828]

I love the boxer sound.

[@xhaustvids32]

It’s certainly unique!

[@james-le2rs]

They sound good and they look good more of a full rounder note

[@xhaustvids32]

Agreed

[@bobsullivan5714]

Yeah, well said.

[@jdflhr]

Sounds decent..Almost Harley like!

[@xhaustvids32]

Similar. More of a deep bass sound. Airplane like

[@wessriggs2004]

Take the baffles out

[@xhaustvids32]

Will definitely be louder. But for long rides this seems to be a nice middle ground.

[@MrTeff999]

This gives me an idea. Pair the engine management system to an app on your phone, then play whatever exhaust sound you want over speakers inside your helmet using a Bluetooth connection. It could be worth millions.

[@duosable]

It will sale 500 units max worldwide.

[@MrTeff999]

​@@duosable Several OEMs have already contacted me and they are very interested.

[@Doot-_-]

No no 👎

[@everythinggaming7938]

Terrible idea

[@paul.i3606]

😂 couldn’t think of anything more annoying, people would use it for 5mins and it would be thrown in the trash

[@rsmith3033]

bmw needs to RELEASE tha service manaul

[@xhaustvids32]

Not sure what that means

[@rsmith3033]

@@xhaustvids32 service manaul is needed to set valve clearance , clutch adjustments etc.as per bmw specs.

[@doxydoxdelamanca9902]

I am really sorry. Perhaps it's just me and I am probably getting ancient - pushing mid 40 - but that OEM exhaust sound fine, and loud enough. Just saying. Love the bike, btw; and I know it's gotten mixed reviews. Don't care.

[@xhaustvids32]

It sounds nice stock. But can barley hear it while riding. Pipes exit out the back....

[@Sae-fu5ch]

I agree definitely better sound with factory exhaust..keep the standard exhaust buddy trust me you will refit it given enough time (you will 👍)

[@castrojosua]

I agree, 100% but unfortunately for us city riders sometimes loud pipes save lives. I have noticed myself not being seen constantly by other drivers compared to other bikes

[@craiggoldstein2461]

I agree.....I think the OEM sound is tasteful, has enough character and wont be fatiguing after a 500 mile day.

[@Fred-eg9sx]

Does anyone know why the stock pipes make that whistling or hissing noise???

[@xhaustvids32]

Never noticed it

[@arvindsingh4685]

Where can you buy this exhaust?

[@xhaustvids32]

From Freedom Performance direct

[@rayayhan8482]

Does it come with the Db killers?

If you reach out to them maybe they can figure something out?

Sound like a dinamo 250 two pisston the same engine of the honda rebel 250 is a very similar sound but is les stronger

[@xhaustvids32]

Definitely a great sound

[@bobsullivan5714]

A two cylinder duel exhaust 180 degree timing engine will sound a lot like a two cylinder duel exhaust 180 degree timing engine....... Go figure.

[@williamwoolcock]

What? No "Clunk" when you change gears?

[@xhaustvids32]

Oh it does that hah

[@Lawofhonor]

Sounds the same?

You would be the first to say that.

It’s surprisingly fruity as stock.

[@xhaustvids32]

Yeah

[@bobsullivan5714]

The exhaust is manufactured to be in compliance worldwide.......Imagine riding your new bike home from the dealership in West Buckfart Mongolia and getting a noise ticket.

[@Tirah5]

loved everything about R18 but then theres this ridiculous engine whine over the exhaust note. Kills the joy

[@xhaustvids32]

The engine is what makes the bike!
