Loud pipes save lives.. <--- total bullshit. Deer may be bigger idiots than horses. On my bike I have honked at them, and they will split in two directions one away from the road, one across the road.
I will try this next time I ride in deer country.
The Hornet Deer Whistle - Electronic Deer Avoidance System

Even closed course pipes have a db limit today. still, not many are legal for street. I will change my pipe for weight mostly. the stock pipe is usually about 3x heavier. This is all vibrating off the motor. So the lighter pipe should not transmit as much vibration.

I am not complaining about the vibration, for a machine the cbr250 single is pretty smooth as far as I am concerned, and I like it better than my four cyclinders.

Psych , do you duck flying fish? Do they make a tsunami whistle? If I was in Hawaii, I might buy a saiboat instead of the cbr.

I think the deer graze near the road because late in the season there is always a little fresh grass at the edge of the road. Like any thing else they get used to vehicles, and those are the pain in the butts that you drive right up to. Out in the field they spook easier, god might be on our side, but Murphy is definately on the side of the deer.
