"Nakano set to -deafen" Tokyo Shoppers this weekend.
-taken from Kawsaki Moto GP website
"Saturday afternoon shoppers at Tokyo's Shinagawa Seaside Forest Oval Garden will need to take ear plugs with them this weekend, as Fuchs Kawasaki's Shinya Nakano will make an appearance aboard his Ninja ZX-RR MotoGP machine ahead of next weekend's Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi.
Nakano will be appearing at the Tokyo shopping centre from 2.15pm onwards on Saturday 11th September. The Fuchs Kawasaki star will take part in a one hour talk show, before signing autographs and posing for photographs with fans.
Determined to bring a little of the MotoGP pit lane ambience to the centre of Tokyo, Nakano will also be treating the assembled crowd to the sound of a 990cc inline four-cylinder engine through open exhaust pipes, when he fires up his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR MotoGP machine on the main stage.
The noise limit for MotoGP machines is an ear splitting 130dB, which is equivalent to standing 100 metres behind a jumbo jet on takeoff, and right on the edge of the pain threshold. The Ninja ZX-RR is loud enough when it's started and warmed up in pit lane, which is why all the Kawasaki Racing Team mechanics wear ear plugs during practice sessions, but in the confines of the Oval Garden the noise promises to be truly deafening!

Enjoy the ride!

I love noise, specially with the neighbors who dont like me. I treat those neighbors real special when I come home a 3 am by providing them with a wheelie drive by. My Yoshi pipe on my 12 is not real loud, but im sure they can hear me in their dreams

call me an old stick-in-the-mud, but i jsut dont like that much noise. far as i'm concerned, rac vehicles shoudl be limited to 100db. it would encourage exhaust manufacturers to put more effort into designing their systems to be quiet while powerful, plus it wouldnt promote this stupid (imho) obsession with getting the loudest system possible for no purpose other than the volume. what can i say, i like my peace & quiet

i'm with you frEEk.
I roadraced a Norton in 67-69 when 140dB 2 strokes with stingers were the hot set up (Pre-OSHA) As a result, I lost high frequencies and I hear a loud buzzing/whining sound every minute of every waking hour.
