Favourite is a large cc V-twin with straight-throughs... usually Yamaha.
Harleys kinda have too much grumble and not enough bark.
Screaming IL4 for me usually means I'm burning too much fuel and really ought to slow down and/or change up if I still want to eat this month!!

Large V-twins are my favourite.
Aprilia V4 is delightful.
The new R1 (with decent exhaust of course) sounds great!

RSV4 or Tuono V4R with an Austin racing can. Pure race bike sound. Added videos:
Second - Ducati L-twin (watercooled ones with wet clutches, not a fan of the bag of spanners sound of the early dukes with dry clutches when they're idling) with a full Termi system.
Third - Aprilia Rotax V-twin 1000cc.
You'd think the ducati and aprilia engine bikes would sound the exactly same, but but they don't, they have their own distinctive sound. The Aprilia has a much 'smoother' noise, whereas on the Ducati you can almost hear each cylinder firing. And in real life the Ducati sound has more bass and a bit more 'rasp', a more angy sound IMO - they can both wake the dead though, a sound you 'feel' more than you hear

The triumph and mv 675 triples sound nice.
I also really like my ZR7, its aircooled and has 8 valves 4cyl so has a nice deep tune and with my GPR can it has a raspy wailing sound at high rpm

2013 and only 480p? Boo...
someone made that from clips, it wasn't that low res when it was on itv 4
I know but the sound suffers a lot on the 1080p already, so 480p is just terrible. I've a plugin which filters through the videos, so anything below 720p I won't see at least someone posts something here with a link.

My R6 at 16k rpm hitting the quickshifter, sounds like an old F1 car
Shots fired!
Edit
I'm still suprised no one mentioned the Nuda 900R.
Edit2
Ups... forgot about ZX2-R that bike sounds like an F1 car!
ZX2-R vid had couple poo (*****) words in there... :/ Type in 'Ninja ZX2R - Best Sounding Bike Tom Has Ridden! 20K RPM!'

the ZX2 hahaha, I want one... everyone within 10 miles would hate me because it'd be so noisy and take so long for me to get out of earshot xD
