I can think of lots of great sounding bikes. And a lot of them come from the land of the rising sun.
I do not care much for HD sound, and i do not like loud pipes. You dont have to be loud to sound good.
Here are a few of my favorite sounds.
Just about any Ducati.
Suzuki TL1000S with Yoshimura pipes...sweeeeet.
Honda Seeley CB750F1, what a great sounding bike that was
Honda CB400F with a Seeley pipe,
Both of these were from the 70's
Most multi cyclinder Jap bikes sound nice to me, with or with out a performance pipe.
As for Two stoke sounding bikes,
Suzuki GT380 with Micron expansion chambers,
Yamaha RD250/350LC with micron pipes
Suzuki RG500 Gama (square 4), sweet sounding straight of the showroom floor
Norton Comando, Nice
Triumph Twins, Nice
BMW Boxer engines. I like them a lot.
and lastly, and yes, admittedley this is EXTEEMILY loud, and no, sorry. It is not a bike. But, there are not many sounds in the world that sound better and stir the soul more than a Ferrari F1 V10 engine spinning at 19,000 rpm.....now thats sheer bliss.
