1984 Honda V-twin 750, the perfect blend between hog and RR. Never heard anything so sweet. Sorry I don't have a video to post but I will look for one.

Harley has a pleasant sound as long as it's not too loud but I prefer music over the wind and racket. I also like the sound of a Norton.

My VFR VTEC sounds pretty good when all the valves are being used at high revs. It does have the standard exhaust.

Re: Discuss: Favorite motorcycle sound?
to me, nothing captures the essence of motorcycle sound like a thumper. i don't know why that sounds "right" to me, it just does.

My favorite sound isn't a particular motorcycle. Mine is the sound of a carbureted bike during engine braking. That kind of bubbling sound.
