What is your ultimate favourite sounding bike and with what exhaust/system on? I always liked the screaming IL4's, but there're couple V-Twins and Parallel Twins that aren't bad either.


YouTube videos are welcomed! :D

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. :p

I'm still suprised no one mentioned the Nuda 900R. :eek:



Edit2

Ups... forgot about ZX2-R that bike sounds like an F1 car! :D

ZX2-R vid had couple poo (*****) words in there... :/ Type in 'Ninja ZX2R - Best Sounding Bike Tom Has Ridden! 20K RPM!'

How do you know if a bike is a il4 or v-twin? Is that info on things like auto trader ads or do you need to check the v5 for it?

Look at the engine block, the name gives it away pretty much. But to be 100% sure go on MCN and search for a review as it tells you what engine configuration has been used on that bike.
 
TallPaul S is right, but its even easier than that! Especially on naked bikes were you can see the whole engine pretty much.

V-Twin = 2 Cylinders in a V shape.
IL4 = In line 4 cylinders
Parallel Twin = Seriously? :p
V4 - Similiar to V-Twin but has 4 Cylinders instead of 2.
And so on...

It gets a bit trickier with Sports bike, but over the time just by hearing the bike you can figure out what engine config it is. Most sports are IL4 anyways :p
 
But your RSV4 is a fun bike, not your commuter is it? On a fun bike there's no such thing as anti-social! :p :D
