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.

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.
