Title: Sweetest burble from a bike ?
Post by: ohgood on May 01, 2007, 04:26:40 PM
So, we all know what HD's, GS's, Gixxers and CBR's sound like. Some folks can pick theirs out of a crowd. All of us know we've heard a sweeeeeet sounding bike and locked onto it's rythem, memorized and lusted after it. Or maybe I just need more "ME" time.

So go on then, list that bike FIRST and then tell the tale afterwards. Here, I'll even start it off in the next post.  :thumb:

We were leaving a HD-fest when one roared to life, and burbled away, a little note of a cb750 whir from up front. Loved it. Absolutely awesome sound.

OK, you get the idea!   O0

I really like the liquid cooled L-twins with an aftermarket exhaust.  I guess I'm thinking Superhawk, RC, TL, SV

Great rumble, but also a little more polished and rythmic sounding than a 45 degree air cooled v-twin (ie. HD)

Pretty much any Ducati with a dry clutch sporting a full Termignoni system.

You guys are all crazy.  Alpha hit the nail on the head...  Dry clutch big ass L-twin with a nice exhaust system.

There is a guy I ride with who traded his FZ1 in for a Tuono. His Tuono came with a full Ti Arrow exhaust system and a custom CF airbox. From idle to redline it sounds like it wants to rip someone's torso in half and eat their intestines. And then there are the power wheelies...

Super Hawk 996 with Jardines.

Rolling on the throttle in any gear with the front end getting light.

1982 Yamaha XZ550 Vision with full porcelan Jardine pipes.  Just barely legal at 114dbs.

But, you can't really beat the sound of a Norton WFO on the banks of Daytona.

AMA Superbike Ducs on decel into turn 2 at Sears Point, and accelerating out of the same turn, are pretty sweet, though.

My bike sounds exactly like Sebulba's pod.  For what it is worth.
Title: Re: Sweetest burble from a bike ?
Post by: makenzie71 on May 02, 2007, 01:35:46 PM
can't pick one...

air cooled v's...by far Vincent Black Shadow.

liquid v's...sweetest would be VFR750R, meanest would be any S&S with straights.

I4's...gotta go with FZ600 with a full system.  Just sick.

The most head-turning bike noise, to me, though, is someone racking out an 1800 Goldwing.  I jiz a little every time I hear someone bounce one of those badasses off the limiter.

My TL had that noise.  I really think they used a big water-cooled twin to do that.
