Sounds of a Harley

#1 Unread post by Dennis »

This could be just my imagination. I watch a lot of videos on You Tube of Harleys and their exhaust sounds. It seems to me that the 1200 Sportster has a much deeper and sweeter exhaust note than the big bore Harleys. What are your thoughts? :D

Type Ducati in Youtube and you won't be looking at Harley any longer to define what a good sounding bike is all about. :mrgreen:

Some peeps like country, others like rock n roll...the smart ones just like music.
