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 agree an old Scooter with all the mirrors also went past me last week and i must say i lapped up the Aroma.
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.
A big Ducati doing anything but ticking over and old two stroke triples. Oh and my 'Blade, with it's standard can, on start up. That....limitless power held in check 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:- Seen here with some old riff raff Shaky Byrne on it...lol He said it was better than his Althea WSB! Thanks to my mate Dave..
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.
when i was a lad waiting for the school bus a bloke used to go past on his way to work on a norvin cafe racer,its a sound i will never forget.
at the tt a few years back, the mv that ago was riding on the parade lap was awesome, and the little honda 125 6 cylinder is just plain amazing
have to agree with you andrew. sold an lc last year that had allspeeds on and it was lovely. have a tuono with akro can and thats like thunder and my brother has a 955i triumph with fairly open can and that thing howls when its wound up.
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.
