This entire thread has been very imformative, beginning with the OP's man-on-the-street style assessment of his test ride on the RS. Most alarming to me, however, is that he was at the dealership to have his bike undergo a state inspection. The state inspects motorcycles??? Can I assume then that there are no bikes running straight pipes in PA? Sure hope that sort government oversight stays on the coasts.
My apology for the hijack.......
If I could only have you speak with the intellectual gems that populate our state government. No, we have no exhaust noise requirement, like most states. Brakes, tires and lights are the extent of the inspection.
BTW - York, PA is one of the final assembly plants for Harley. It was a plant AMF converted from an old defense product fabrication plant.
