this probs wins for me on the sound

Sorry i forgot about the rc166 what a machine.
By the way the laverda made 130hp was fuel injected and had a shaft drive.

I know everyones propley gonna have a go at me now but o think the vtr1000 has a better sound the sound of a big v-twin

Honda Six all the way, quite possibly the best man made sound ever

i cant believe the v4 section of the forum chose the inline engined honda 6 over the v6 engine of the laverda.

ok maybe the vtr's v-twin ain't the best but at least a v engine and not the inlines

They are V-twins

For me, it's Ducati. No twin, or bike for that matter, sounds as good as a desmo. The sound of the 996SPS as he rolls off the throttle on the first pass actually made me do a little sex wee

That sounded like an F1 car to me!

I'm not to up to speed on these oldies, did they used to throttle forwards then?! Just looked a little odd to me!

With modern bikes, i've gotta say i love the sound of this:

But probably the best Honda ever built (and it wasnt even built by Honda). A guy a coupla miles rom here thougt it would be a good idea to take two CBR400RR engines and build himself a V8.









ANd it sounds the part too:
