Pressureangle Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 I couldn't find a single sound clip or video with a H-D VR1000 beyond idle. Juicy like the Vincent, more Boom than the Britten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p6x Posted April 27 Report Share Posted April 27 To me, the best sounding motorbikes were those which had one exhaust per cylinder; starting with the 1970 Honda 750 CB. Then, the Kawasaki triples; not with the expansion chambers that everybody seemed to favor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao Haha, well, I'm not much of a "multi" guy, but really want to love the Otto Cylindri. I recall inspecting a rendition of the Moto Guzzi Otto Cylindri at an exhibit of the Guggenheim's "Art of the Motorcycle." It was fascinating to trace how all eight (maybe 14 or 15mm) open exhaust tubes traced their ways, individually, through the sinews of the motorcycle. I so longed to hear their song, thinking it must be orchestral, like eight horns of a "horn section". No digital capture will ever replicate that sonority. (Be it known that V8 afflicted me from an early and impressionable age) . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
po18guy Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 That's the flat crank version. Basic 4-cylinder inline sound. The cross plane, now that's Italian! The first 14 seconds of this video are the cross-plane engine warming up. I suspect that only tin ears dislike this sound. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Gotta love that the Otto Cylindri gets warmed up at the V11's redline . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives them a sharpness. The exhaust system on that Guzzi is art. Not just the sound, but the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Ducati desmodue, but I'll be damned if the big Guzzi doesn't match, or at least rival it for sound and character! I'm loving mine more by the day. There is something special about the sound of a V11 through a set of Mistrals.. That chug.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
