That is really cool. Great job! 1st person demo was fun. I'm surprised at all the noise complaint comments though. My Harley is loud as heck and I'd trade it for hearing all the normal machine noises that get drowned out. I see Cobra has new pipes for electrics that actually pump out recorded sound.

Been riding for over 20yrs. If you need loud engine noise to keep you alive while riding maybe you should take a course from the Department of Transportation class on motorcycle riding. It's called DEFENSIVE DRIVING. Please, I used to ride a 1000cc thought i needed a loud bike to keep me alive. Now I drive a 650cc quite as can be, yes you do have to pay attendsion while riding and be able to know what the driver of a car is going to do. WELCOME TO MOTORCYCLING

@whoybeen I have never had to use my defensive riding skills on any of my classic bikes which may be due to the 100+ db exhaust notes. Wish i could say the same for the modern bikes in my collection.
