phucking attention-whores

I never have really cared for V-4's. They kinda sound like an asthmatic lawnmower.



Faves are any twin, parallel or v, straight 3's and straight 4's.

Obnoxiously loud inline fours.



Obnoxiously loud anything.



Honda dual pin cranks are funky.

 

[Buzglyd]

Honda Shadow with open pipes.



Worst ever.

 

[12er]

Amen

A Honda SL90 with a straight pipe.



That or a Go Devil folding minibike with a 50cc TAS motor. Like a weed wacker hooked to a torque converter....bwaaaaaaaa bwaaaaaa bwaaaaaaa... can drive people to acts of violence.

Anything that doesn't annoy the cagers...by definition it's not loud enough to get their attention.

The best and the worst is a Harley Davidson depending on how much baffleage there is between the cylinder heads and the exhaust opening. Straight pipes and compulsive revvers make me want to crush, kill and destroy!



An air cooled desmo with Remus cans sounds awesome.

 

[33809]

Agreed, it sounds like some monsterous bubble making machine.

Least favorite moto exhaust= The Honda Cub 50 from the late '60's

Most favorite= 1979 Honda CBX

I once had the "pleasure" of walking behind a straight piped Boss Hoss as the fecal-brained owner coaxed it to life. I nearly ducked for cover, the thing was louder than shotgun. The jackhole had this stupid grin on his face, knowing he just pissed off a couple hundred people. My ears were ringing for a while and all afternoon I got looks of disdain because I happened to be carrying my helmet.

The sound of the bits of valve rattling out of the tailpipe of a self-destructing Magna.

Certainly not all, but alot of the boxer engined beemers sound like a sewing machine to me. I'm not a huge fan of stunt canned inline 4s either.



The best? Either an air cooled Duc with Termis or Remus cans (or virtually any of the 90 degree twins), any of the three cylinder beasts at full wail with a race can, or a narrow angle V with just enough baffling to keep it from being obnoxiously loud.

I had a similar experience, but from a group of riders on the Boss Hoss. Their noise level was actually painful.

Would it be better if we started replying to your posts in sign language?

Worst ever was a Suzuki GT750 two stoke set up for dirt drag racing. That thing a full throttle would make me physically nauseous.

 

[rjosephc]

Hmmm.



Least fav: ST1300 with stock exhast and any oil-head R bike with stock exhaust (they sound really, really, really bad)



Favs: Norton Rotary, non-VTEC VFR with aftermarket pipe/can, and Triumph 3-cyl with aftermarket pipe/can

dual pin honda cruisers,....



sound like a hippo farting under water

Best: Kaw Z1 with an original Kerker pipe (open, as when drag racing). Worst: CBx with six straight pipes, or any pre-mid-60s two-stroke street bikes.

 

[seruzawa]

I have to second the BMW. An oilhead going up Parley's Canyon wide open sounds like a string of blatting [email protected]
