Good Exhaust Tone Does Make a Difference

[Goat_Herder]

I am sure DMF'ers can all agree that a good set of cans on the Monster can make a world of difference.  Riding requires all 5 senses and, to some, the sound might be the most important part.  Case in point:

Below is a video of my daughter riding her Ducati Monster S4 around my neighborhood. The L-Twin engine is very torque and she is still getting the hang of proper throttle control. The initial opening of the throttle in 1st gear is so abrupt that, if you are not careful, it will catch you by surprise.

At this point, you must be shaking your head and thinking: that stock cans sounded like crap!  It's a proper superbike, just without plastic fairing. She needs a set of racing exhaust so she can SING! This is what the S4 sounds like with racing exhausts.

See what I mean?  Day and night difference!

   Love it.

What does she think of the second vid?

At 4 years old, she thinks her Ducati is exactly the same as my S2R1000 in functionality, except hers is a bit smaller.  She also thinks mine "might" be a little bit faster but only some times.   

After watching the 2nd video, she just keep on giggling.  It further proves that her bike is for real!

   That. Is. Awesome.

Gotta love the excitement of little kids around bikes.

Train them while they're young!

My 2.5 yr old already goes to the golf course with me

Goat Herder, where'd you find it? I thought those weren't sold in the US any more. I'm looking for one for a good friend's kid.

I found it, out of dumb luck, on CL.  I searched for Ducati, without knowing that the category was set to Baby+Kids (wife was on it).  Only 1 result came up and it was for that Perego Ducati.  The ad was just posted 20 minutes prior to that.  Called the guy and drove an hour in the middle of the night to get it.  Pure luck.

Those are blow molded by the plant that I toured in Ohio ... who are going to be making our Multistrada fuel tanks.
