> The sound of it echoing between the mountains

And sadly, annoying thousands of people during its trip

Waking babies, causing anxiety attacks, generally disturbing the peace for many many people all so a single person can go vroom.

I almost entirely always say we should err on the side of more personal freedom, but loud motorcycles need to be completely banned.

>loud motorcycles need to be completely banned

Agree 1,000%.

As a motorcycle drivers myself, I think that the obsession of my fellow drivers with producing loud noises is childish.

I really enjoy the acceleration though (when it's safe to e.g. accelerate away from a traffic light or when getting on the freeway).

The feeling of way faster responding control, and being exposed to wind, smells, sounds makes it a very relaxing immersive experience for me.

I dream of an electric motocycle that can accelerate like hell and emit almost no noise. Just like Tron or something.

Check out Damon Motorcycles.

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't thought of it that way.
