    I guess the first thing that you need is a V-Max!

    Yes, you do ... if it's a matter of tuning.
    No, you don't ... if it's a matter of loudness!

    You can fine-tune your bike and get it to sound like a Formula-1 Car.
    A nice highly-tuned mechanical whine with accompanying exhaust note.

    If you go the loud route and change pipes ... you'll have to start playing roulette with the Carb Jetting.

    I prefer the tuning route. I never understood guys with cars that looked like they should do 0-60 in 4 seconds but in reality they go 0-60 in "maybe" :roll:

    Stock VMax = great sound.
    Stock Maxim = great sound.

    I got 'em both and enjoy the different, uniqueness of each.

    I have a great friend who has a HD Road Glide who said how much he liked the XJ650's stock sound when I turned it up a bit between gears.

    Once he was riding beside me and then he was suddenly gone...........behind me!

    But understand, I got no Harley beef. I got an '03 883R which also has its unique sound,. I love to ride that bike too. And I ride it a lot.

    But the Maxim will blow its fenders right off.
