New UK Media Reviews Dark Horse

[LouG]

Wondering how this thread aged… are the UK adopting the above mentioned legislation this year?

I hate the fact the UK gets a nerfed DH, I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to get a full-fat version whilst I’m out here. I’m not as much bothered by the drop in power for the UK DH as I am by the drop in sound - I watched Schmeee’s review of the UK manual 2024 DH today and damn it’s so quiet in comparison to the US/ROW version, very sad.

Would importing an Australian DH solve the problem whilst keeping it right hand drive (import taxes aside)? Or will UK/EU regs apply on private imports too?

OZ cars are gelded as well. Ours are full fat US goodness. Might not be legal in the UK though. When I bought my GT PP 18 months ago it was $NZ93,000, a DH $NZ113,000.

They should just go ahead and rename it the Dark Gelding in the UK.

How often do you use 6000rpm plus?

Theoretical gelding but in reality

In track mode mine is plenty loud enough for me and enough to be turned away from some track days. Don't need to announce my arrival from 2 miles away. 1 is plenty sufficient

Race tracks will turn you away for being too loud?!

Most race tracks in the US and Europe have noise limits. You have to pass a test before you are allowed on the track

All the time. Run up over 8000. Tuned on e85.

I'm clearly talking about a standard DH on petrol
