somewhat buell XB related in that Kevin spends quite a bit of time explaining the appealing sound of a 45 degree v-twin. could listen to this guy all day long. arguably THE most brilliant motorcycle mind in the world. his inline-6 description @ 4:06 actually turned me on.

Well, facually speaking, it is to them.
For the most people from the Buell motorcycle buyers group.

That justs means the focus group decided to trade off the sound and balanced the motorcycle mostly to the performance side. Focus group is always part of the equation, you can not do business successfully without focus group, engineers are not the only persons who make decisions, somebody said them to design the motorcycle this way.

"Focus groups" are simply manufacturers pandering to a very small cross section of volunteers, hoping for an answer they like.
Not "always"... and especially not for a small company like Buell. There are many important decisions made by important people even before the engineers can get involved, that have nothing to do with focus groups.
Something like a muffler has many, many, other design parameters to meet before the sound is considered.
All they had to do was to, ask me !
Watched some of his videos. Thanks for sharing, he knows his stuff and articulates it well..
