I understand that the rider wants to be as noticeable as possible, but living on a pretty busy street in tokyo I have to say, WAY too many people take it WAY overboard.

The fucking WORST are those ugly flashy scooters, usually driven by manual labourers. They are not only ridiculously loud, but the CVT means they make a constant peak level noise... I'm sure they specifically tune the exhaust to be at its loudest point at that RPM. That is way more annoying than shifting through gears.

So a crackdown seems fair... 91 db seems like it ought to be enough to make your presence without annoying the public

And BTW 91 is WAY louder than 83 already. Remember that dB is measured on a logarithmic scale.
