Well even tho I am a Triumph Girl this time The sound of a Norton wins hands down.
The Norton always sounded tighter, deeper, and meaner. The Triumph always sounded sleazier, looser, and cruder. At redline I always thought the Triumph sounded like it was going to blow up. That being said, this always gave the Triumph exhaust note a little more character. The general consensus seems to lean however to the Norton because its has the quintessential exhaust note of a bad @ss twin. In terms of look, there's no question. The Bonnies were far more beautiful than the clunky looking Commandos.

When I was about 17 & still living at home, I arrived after night out a girlfriend's on the back of a mate's Norton Commando. I made him go right around the cul de sac with all the neighbours out washing their cars!
At first I was wondering why your neighbors were washing their cars in the middle of the night...
Then I realized you had been partying all night and just came home the next day.

Dad was in a quandary cos I knew he wanted to come out & look at the bike but he wouldn't acknowledge his little girl had stayed out!
If I was him, I woulda came out to check out the bike then smack the kid afterwards for keeping my girl out all night.

MotoGP!
A few years ago, I woulda said F1 but F1 is getting kinda boring so I'll say drag racing.
Which bike brand tend to attract more eccentric riders?
Old BMW airheads?
or
Old Moto Guzzis?
