Yes, i know.600s are screamers. Twins and inlines do emit very low bass.IMO bigger the explosion, deeper the bass.

i think the engine generates high frequency and the cans generate low frequency waves.
fell free to correct me if im wrong

Actually the engine with the cans will generate a sound comprising of a frequency range. Say from 20hz to 20khz. I think the output will change with respect to change in company.

And i think Kawasaki Ninjas sound the best!

animal dont react to separately to 20-20000hz as it the human frequency
dogs are known to respond to ultrasonic as well as sonic waves.
i think the dog whistles used by trainers are >18000Hz
20hz is the tone of deep booming bass..
i really wonder if cans alone can go upto 20000hz because that is more like a shrill whistling sound?

[nitrosatya]

Yes certainly. I think the animals respond to sound below certain frequency.

Its a good thing that litre class superbikes are now available in India,though at a high price.But with these bikes comes the question of spares.Are the spares properly available in India??? Maybe the company will provide servicing and spares and all..Also some bikes are there which were imported before and can be bought second hand.What 'bout their spares??? Will Honda or Yamaha care for a bike that was imported and/or provide necessary spare parts or they just care for those bikes only which now they are selling?? In that case what are the other ways in which the bike can be maintained. I'm asking all these 'coz i wanna buy a Yamaha R1.But I am just worried 'bout servicing and spare parts...

My experience with Yamaha in Mumbai to date is 'they will not service or even sell parts for grey imports'.

[dextr]

okay.. so can I get the spare parts and technicians if I buy a second hand imported superbike not from the showroom??say in Mumbai for example.Or is it just buy it fry it and then forget it.It is not like all the imported bikes are illegal.I think its a very important question.The question arises 'coz a second hand bike of '05 or ,06 model comes cheaper than those at the showroom and the difference is a LOT.
Only recently Yamaha,Honda and Suzuki started selling their superbikes in India.But there are many ppl here in xbhp who own such bikes from beforehand.I think they may have some answer for this.

My experierence is still NO. If the bike was not purchased thru Yamaha then they will not supply. I have R1 and have found no problems sourcing spares or even mechanics willing to work on the bike.

[dextr]

thnx.. thats all i wanted to know..whether alternative sources of spares and technicians are available or not ,apart from those in the showroom's workshops ..now i think i may go ahead with my plan of buying that second hand R1 I'm being offered...
