Most people seem to get one that mellows with time. I sure didn't, though. I have the PV2. I like it alright, but I will probably change mufflers soon. I'm sort of used to it, but it's the way other drivers feel compelled to act around it that is getting old. That may not change with a new muffler though - it's a VX after all. Anyway, mine never mellowed out. Inexplicably, it does have more mellow moments some times, but it never stays that way. I think it sounds real good. Just a bit loud off the line and everyone gets the wrong idea when in fact you aren't even mashing the pedal at all. Oh well.
Speaking of which, I had a VX like mine go by me on the highway today, but I was in a work vehicle. The cladding on it was pretty faded and the left rear cladding was sort of hanging off a bit, but still. When it comes up in your rear view mirror, it is definitely a sight - it's a little, well, weird, relative to everything else you usually see. Which I love. It's still a rush for me to see one, especially seeing one cruising out on the highway, and an Astral like mine... sort of get to see what I look like driving around.
