    Just having some bike thoughts (as usual) and today an SP2 went past me although quite slow the sound track was awesome.I have had a TLR Twin and also a 675 Triumph the rest of my bikes all screamers. I have to say i really do like to hear, say a Duke or an Aprillia or (only once ) the R1 big bang .What is your Fav sound track. Mine is Randys 2 seater at the GPs.

    I've always loved the sound of a 2 stroke twin such as a RD350LC
    Or on a side note the smell of castrol R

    I also had a TL1000RW and the sound is fantastic when you get up the revs, I had a set of cans without baffles and to my mine theres no better bike sound.

    My rc8 running the akra with baffle out :)

    A huge twin with an under engine exhaust makes for some great sound track :)

    I rode the Ducati D16RR (three whole times), I thought up until then I had heard some good sounds..but think the Desmo has it!

    This one:-

    Ok,

    In no order......

    500cc 2 stroke gp bike.
    Norton rotary racer.
    And decent V Four or V Twin bike engine( Two or Four stoke. RG500 Gamma etc included.)
    Supercharged Drag Bikes, awsome.

    An in line 4 has a certain charm as well.


    Think that just about does it.

    I also remember as a young lad hearing a honda 400 4 go by i'm sure it didn't have standard exhausts but it did sound rich.

    Yeah the 400 4 always sounded good, you adjusted the cam chain with engine running so it was easy to keep it that way.

    A new Z1000 pulled out past me at Bridge Garage the other day and that 4 into 4 sounded sweet, like a bar of Galaxy dipped in Guinness.
