Got a chance to hear a Yamaha MT-01 today with a stage-one kit (Akrapovic slip-ons).

Sounded absolutely amazing. The engine in the MT-01 generates 19 litres of exhaust gas per second at idle.

I must agree, the Britten sounds great.

One of the most memorable sounds I've heard was a Vincent sidecar chasing us around Western Springs on full noise. I think it was supercharged. Yes, I know, it's not stock/ street but it sounded great!

I think there are many other very nice sounding bikes out there - including Duc's, Honda & Suzuki vees, fours with nice pipes & even my KTM. Not Harleys.

The older model Harleys. I love the sound of mine. Still gives me a thrill everytime I start her up.

I'm not sure about the best ever bike sound,but the new R1 has a very impressive sound.

Somewhere here I have recordings of the Guzzi 500cc V8 but it would be nice to have heard it for real. Then there was that period of extravagance in the 60s when Honda came up with a 50cc twin, a 125cc I L four and the 250cc six. That would have been special.

The litre Moto GP bikes were special too, sweetest sounding was the Suzuki V4 by a small margin, but they were all startlingly loud.

Of course if you spent too long listening to those you probably can't hear all that much these days
