Coming back from a ride today I fell inline with a modded V-Rod. This is the second V-Rod this week. Man that bike has a wonderful sound. It got me wonder what production bike makes your favorite sound? . My current fav is a modded V-Rod, followed by any gear cam Honda VFR. | |||

Honda Rune stock. Ducati Darmah with Contis. Norton Commando with Dunstalls. Moto Guzzi Stelvio with Akropovic. De-baffled Road King. | |||

Honda Rune stock. Didn't that have a Goldwing flat 6? I never figured it would have an interesting sound | |||
| Danger_dave |
Unique sound. Ferrari-ish when pinned.  | |||

My favorites, in no particular order: Honda VFR/Interceptor with gear-driven cams: Yamaha Vmax: Yamaha R1 with cross-plane crank: Nearly any Ducati: | |||

One that comes to mind was a Honda CBX with the full boogie RC Engineering motor kit and an open 6 into 1 header.. | |||

Debaffled V Rods have a deep but not obnoxious pitch and the 2009 R1. (Message edited by Buellinachinashop on June 19, 2009) | |||

I always had a thing for high-performance twins - Ducati takes the cake for that. I haven't heard an 1125 with anything but a stock exhaust, so that may be on the list as well. I have yet to hear a V-ROD I like... | |||

Here's how to mod a V Rod stock exhaust. I did this to my stock slip-ons and its a vast improvement from stock.

Other than the XB? MY CRF450 " On the pipe" climing a steep hill in 2nd or 3rd.  | |||

1125 with the Buell race can is sweet. Gear cam VFR. Rune/Opened up Goldwing exhaust. I am also glad to not be the only one that has heard this and thought it sounded great. Very Ferrari sounding. Newer Triumph 3 cylinders with the Arrow exhaust is aural heaven too. 675 or 1050. | |||

this one! http://home.mira.net/~iwd/av/drysdale750v8.mp3 been following this for years, sweet sound to me! "This is the last run of the V8 with the Keihin FCR flat slide carbs - the rev limiter is set at 13,000 rpm and you can hear the motor stutter a bit as it hits the limiter when the throttle is blipped on some runs.. Although the mufflers are a straight through race design (with a round hole perforated tube construction) the V8 is suprisingly quiet. The explanation lies in the way the 2 outlets are positioned side by side- the pulses are phased so that they occur in between one another and tend to partially cancel each other out. The rattle that can sometimes be heard just above idle is a characteristic rattle of the "floating" section of the flat slide in the FCR's. It is annoying at first but like a dry clutch it's a noise that differentiates a bike like the V8 from the sanitised majority. The fuel injection will eliminate this rattle (unfortunately) but will greatly simplify the tuning process and allow for even more power, tractability and fuel economy. As a bonus, the throttle pull- which is unavoidably heavy with the 8 FCR's- will be feather light, bringing the bike back into line with design criteria #1-" http://home.mira.net/~iwd/ | |||

who cant love the sound of a piped ducati. Another favorite toy sound I like is the sound of a stock KFX 700 quad. They have a sound of a 03-04 cobra mustang with a supercharger screaming but its really the belt drive on the tranny. | |||

Late '30's thru early '40's Indian 4 cylinder. | |||

Okay, I'm a little weird, but I've always gotten a kick out of the "sewing machine on steroids" sound of an idling BMW airhead... | |||

Also - who doesn't just love the symphony of a Harley-Davidson XR750 coming out or turn 4? | |||

09 R1 with a set of open pipes Jump to 1:17 Tubers One the sweetest sound on earth is a fly by of a squadron of WFO vtwins. This is the closest i could find. There is a IL4 in there too.  | |||

1125R w/ HR1 Riot Exhaust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRcpG9F3BXo And of course any XB with a Jardine or D&D! | |||

Hmmm... My X1 about a week after I've repacked the muffler... Original M900 Ducati with carbon fibre Termi's... Like many above I like gear cam VFR's, particularly VF1000R with race 4-2 exhausts... Moto-Guzzi LeMans III with air box removed and (I think) Lafranconi's... The Ducati MHR 900 I saw and heard a few weeks ago... I hadn't heard a pair of Conti's for years... And I do like the sound of a nice oil-cooled GSXR being ridden flat out... And RD250LC's... brrraaaaaaap... ring-ding-ding-ding...  | |||
| Lemonchili_x1 |
Oh, and of course Triumph triples with a 3-1 and carbon muffler  | |||

XBs with a race kit and exhaust. Pretty much any Ducati. TL1000R. RC51. See a trend here? |
