If it's legal in the UK, then it's legal on the continent. But if stopped by police you may have to prove it's legality maybe with an mot or a stamped exhaust.

But combined with the USS Enterprise cruising speed and the lack of reflective stickers on the crash hat......................

hi all, in spain you do get extra attention for loud exhausts ,Spanish reg bikes have to have the non standard exhaust tested and on its mot to show the police.uk bikes would be too much bother so I would expect to get let go with a caution. Mind my Norton with pea shooters registered 99db+ on the mot meter but because they did not have any data on the bike that's now standard.
