This list is surprisingly accurate. I wouldn’t change any of the rankings. Aprilia’s V4 and Yamaha’s CP4 are by far the best sounding motorcycle engines ever produced. Great video

[mauroignelzi]

When I unleash all 9 H.P. of my Super Cub nothing else even comes close 😊

That RSV-4 clip - I have ridden that corner hundreds of times, and stood and watched dozens of other riders scream around it as well. - That's the High View Lookout Point turn on the Cypress Parkway - the access road to Cypress Provincial Park, here in West Vancouver, British Columbia. That parkway is a favorite of local fast bikers here on the west coast of Canada.Great to see it in a video from MotoBob!

That RSV4 mountain clip gave me a literal eargasm. Shakes and shivering included. OMG.

I really like Bobs reaction with the 350cc “I really don’t know what you were thinking” 😂

[CheetoPhingers]

Kawi 3s and 4s sure do make a nice sound. CP4 is a beast too. Nothing can beat that Aprilia V4 though.

Triumph Triples for me, then the Rsv4 soundtracks. The Triples also have 2 distinct sounds. 1 on stationary revving, 2 when you are actually running and pinning it to redline. Number 2 sounds so intoxicating and keeps you wanting to do it more and more

[ronniefranks]

As good as the MV Agusta sounds, my vote goes to the Triumph triples. I love all triples, dating back to the 1969 Kawasaki H1. When you catch the triple bug, it never goes away.

[ilikelampshades]

Triumph t120 with a decat and performance exhausts are the best sounding bikes ive ever heard imo

[stevenkerry]

i think that the top three votes are a great choice but the Aprilla at the end was on another level it sounded fantastic .

[davelawrence]

Rsv4 for sure all the way absolutely awesome sounding bike!! 👌🏻👍🏻😁

[TheAgalmic]

The Ducati Diavel with Termignoni exhaust sounds like a NASCAR and the new Ducati Diavel V4 with the Spitfire Akropovic exhaust sounds bloody amazing.

[marcosd]

The Suzuki SV650 sounds a lot better than the parallel twins, especially with a decent exhaust. Agree with the Triumph triples (I ride a Tiger 800), revs like a 4, but DIRTY!😁

I’m a musician. I spent hours only last weekend working on a piano and vocal recording. There are infinite variations and parameters to play with in sound. Timbre for example just one of the more detailed aspects. These differing variables offer so much more than simply volume. I love that I can identify a make and model of bike approaching before even seeing it (I know others here do too). I’m soon to change the sound of my Bonneville engine with a cam upgrade and swap to 2-1. It will run and handle better but as I see it sound just different. I’ll miss the current gorgeous purr at idle and low torquey growl but the sound engineer in me will enjoy the change for changes sake in the audio emissions. I’ll mostly remain baffled except for the occasional indulgence in the equivalent of adding guitar pedals of overdrive and distortion! 🤘🏼

Funny thing, this clip at 9:10 made me fall in love with RSV4 and in the end I bought it, in total love.

[robbo]

Bought my first V4 1100 Tuono in October- totally agree engine is addictive especially short shifting rapidly through the box 😋

[ethanwing]

Dang no superduke? Or even the 890r that things a beast too

[Beedji]

A lot of purists seem to like the sound of inline 3s or 4s the most.
Personnally, I'm more of a "brrrraaap" guy, rather than a enthusiast.

[StephenThorpe-ob]

I own an RSV4 factory and even with stock exhaust, it sounds awesome! Makes me smile everytime I ride it 👍

[abhishekdhiman]

I was hoping to see RS 660 on the list (mostly out of bias as I'm planning to get one). But glad to see its elder sibling making it to the top 😍
