I actually like hearing the ticking of my bike's engine as it cools once I've parked it after a long ride. Very evocative. Most people would say their exhaust, but the sound of a boxer engine is pretty dull :laughing:

Oh the Keda isn't really that loud but it's a deep resonance that just hits a perdy note when it accelerates :mrgreen:

Inline-6 under load at full WOT.



Moto Guzzi small-block V8 sound



But then again, a sweet mid-sized inline-4 works too:

Ah, I do miss UK riding...
