Help: Why does my 2021 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R sound like a 2015 Barolo when I rev it at 8000rpm?

So I'm out on the backroads with my ZX-10R, and every time I hit the redline the exhaust screams like a cork popping out of a 2015 Barolo. Anyone else notice the "tannin throttle" effect?

  • When I pull the clutch it's like decanting a heavy red – slow, buttery, then a sudden burst of tannins.
  • The V4's note hits the same frequency as the 13% alcohol burn you get from a good Shiraz.
  • I tried swapping the muffler for a "Bordeaux" style slip‑on, but now it just sounds like a cheap table wine.

Is this just my brain cross‑pairing the high‑rpm scream with the high‑acid finish, or is there some legit acoustic overlap? Any other riders who've turned their bikes into a moving tasting note?

TL;DR: My bike sounds like a fancy wine, need advice or just a good laugh.
