i'm about to buy my first trials bike shortly (i've been riding off-road for most of the past 30yrs). the most important thing to me is the noise from the exhaust. i need to be able to ride near my house without disturbing the neighbors.
the bike will most likely be a gas gas 280.
i have spoken to about 5 dealers, and even the us gas gas importer, and none can tell me anything more than "it's comparable to a lawnmower" or "it's quiet."
does anyone have the actual decibel reading of a newer 2 stroke revving at something higher than idle?
thanks in advance for your help. for what it's worth, i could never dream of riding my KTM250exc around here - so i'm hoping it's much quieter.
