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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!😁

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 "Weeeeee" enthusiast.

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 😍

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

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

Aprillia V4s FTW!!

Nice work!

Kinda shocked Yamaha CP3's and KTM Superduke R aren't on this list 😅

Classic 350 owner happy noises. I mean, for it's price, it has an awesome stock sound. Bikes don't usually sound this good stock

Speed Twin 900, as stock, has one of the best sounding exhausts!

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

Exactly the content we want.

In love with the sound of the Ape RSV4 and the engine . Finally bought one.

While riding ones I rode close to a straight pipe meteor 350 (or maybe a classic 350). What a sound. Illegal, but for 4000 euros sound pretty good

I was afraid Aprilia got snubbed. Going all the way back to my RSV Mille to the V4, the sound is just enchanting.

I think the RE 350 cc bikes sound nice

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! 🤘🏼

Aprilia and Ducati V2s are great as well. But Aprilia V4 is best

Not sure why the ducati v4 wasn't in the list. It is by far the more superior sounding bike out of the ones on this list

Some of the present day ones would for sure make the list for best sounding motorcycles since 1901. Going back to 1950s the singles like the BSA Gold Star, Ducati 250 & 350, Royal Enfield 500 were sweet. Some of the desmo twins in the 1960s, decades of Sportsters, Norton and Triumph's also from 1960s. The first Honda street fours were excellent but the Honda & Benelli six cylinders when fitted with six pipes were unbelievable. Yamaha 250 & 350 two strokes when they were around 7000 rpms were chilling. Kawasaki two stroke triples were addictive. Even before that the Vincent and Brough are still great too listen. We have been blessed to have had some great ones and despite all the regulations there are still some new ones.

I have the 2018 Z900RS and god that bike sounds good. Everyone always asks if it’s the stock exhaust because it’s kinda loud for a stock bike. I also have a 2022 Scrambler 1200 XE and that bike sounds amazing.

Not sure if you can buy it yet but the new kawasaki zx4rr has an epic sound with that 16k redline. You also get to hear it within reasonable speed limits.

Personally, I love the sound of the cb650r/cbr650r. It sounds more classic imo

I live like 5 minutes walk aways from a pretty much straight road and you can hear the bikes like every night in the distance sounds amazing

Re 350 single on the list was a surprise, it made me so happy i own meteor, its been two years amd i ont feel loke changing my exhaust, jst ecaus of the soothing noise that comes when u release the throttle

This was sort of a trip down memory lane - I had a RSV4, years ago, also an MV F4 1000 with race can, nowadays a Triumph 765 street triple R. Loved them all, but there's something about the Triumph that really gets to me: when the revs go high it sort of sounds crazy. But, going further back, there's never been anything to beat the Ducati 888 SP4. Better still, because it was a homologation special, the zorst was legal!!

I LOVE the z900rs cafe sound!

Currently saving for a MT10sp and Austin Racing pipe. Decat and ecu flash

you should try listening to the classic 350 with a exhaust 'wild boar' or 'dolphin' exhaust and the exhaust sound is not while you revving it hard but the way it feels and while you are relaxed and cruising, we all know the royal Enfield you tried doesn't feel the same, my kind suggestion please come to India to try it and know why it is popular in India.

That RSV4 sound literally sends shivers down my spine.

Every one is king until the cbx1000 vintage comes with his F1 car sound.

Just goes to show how we all have different tastes when it comes to music, i mean sounds.

That RSV4 omg 😅 good to see the striple’s up in to top 3

wow!! Velvet sounding Honda Africa 😊

If that's the stock exhaust on the brutale that may be the best inline 4 sound I've heard. Overall good list except for there being too many CP2 adjacent sounds and I'd add a HD Vtwin.

The APRILIA is bloody hell loud ....I love it ! ❤

Still the CBX 1050.. a man can dream even from the past

Mv Augusta brutally 1000 nerbirg edition has a different exhaust system to the base one and its sounds amazing

That rsv4 was the motorbike i heard, probably... am in a place theres constantly riders giving the beans... but there was one motorbike that sounded angelica. What a dream, it was like the best song ever... pretty sure was that one...

I have a yamaha bolt and a street triple, I think they are definitely at the top in terms of sound

I think the best sounding bike I ever heard is the Daytona 765!! ❤❤incredible sound

The KTM LC8(C) with the 75 degree crank just sound soo good. The braaap starting at 5.000 RPM is just addicting. Big torque where you need it and it still revs

Not sold in UK but the neo classic Honda inline 4s - CB400 and CB1300 exhaust in stock is a treat to hear

Bonneville / scrambler 900 with retro shark exhaust... sounds great.

The 350 single sounds like heaven with an exhaust it just comes neutered from the factory

Vancouver, Cypress mountain spotted in the last clip. ;)

still waiting on your video review for the Tracer 9 GT plus :( . Thanks

I'm surprised that of Ducati's oversquare L-twins made it to this list. I love the bark and howl they make at high revs.

i think the MT07 with a roadsitalia thunder deserves a spot too it sounds incedible

I agree with the number 1 choice…. partly because the vid was taken on a curve 1/3 of the way up Cypress Mountain, West Vancouver BC, a fantastic cycling road.

No MV 3 cyl? Or cbx 6 cyl? they sound awesome

Definitely the Aprilia v4... I bought the Tuono just for it's engine. But don't overlook the BMW s1000 with a full system (like that one Jaret campisi built - that thing sounded epic!)

Benelli TNT 600 with IXIL exhaust... My number one

Hmm. Tricky when throwing after market exhausts into the mix. For a stock exhaust, the Z900 RS does well.

The Z900 & Z900RS sound distinctively different IMO. With the RS You hear the intake whine along with the tuned exhaust more whereas the Z900 is a pure screamer.

For me 1. Daytona 675R 2. Old benelli 1130R TNT 3. Kawasaki In-line 4s

I love that for #1 spot, he used the most epic-sounding Aprilia RSV4 video on KZfaq. What a crowdpleaser! 😅

I was at the the wsbk at Phillip island a few years ago, yes the v4 Aprilia best sound then the r1, this is coming from a v twin rider. Love my twins, would like to know bmw boxer where on the list? Best of all time? Honda cbx1000.

Someone please put MV Agusta F3 800 in the list , it sounds absolutely insane.

No BMW k1600? The Goldwing is also a banger. Not the type of bike I would ride, but the sound is amazing.

Old 1990s Ducati 916 with no cat and open termignoni system says...'hold my beer a moment' 🤣

LOVE MY SPEED TWIN 1200!!!!!!

I might be alone on this. But Hondas VFR800F with Vtec is out of this world. Surpasses a Aprillia V4 even because of the smaller displacement, it needs to rev higher making it sound better.

hows the sound on the newly launched Triumph Speed 400 ??

Hondas early cbx inline 6 cylinder is definitely up in the top three sounding bike of all time

i feel like it would have been a fair compare if the bikes were ranked acc to stock exhausts, custom exhausts can completely change the game

Oh how I agree on the MV Agusta inline 4s... The 675 triumph triples have been far better sounding than the 1050,1200 or 765 engines. They seem to lack that raspiness and response of the 675. However the best sounding triple engine was the Benelli TNT one. And another monstrous sounding bike was the Cagiva Raptor 1000cc.

IMO MV deserves to be at top of list. Period.

No no no, not one two stroke Kawasaki H1. Suzuki GT750. Now there's proper noise (and smell)

An old Cbr600f4 I like that

For me the best sounding exhaust for 2023 is a 73 CB350 with the Common Motor megaphone mufflers.

Brutale 1000 & Triples..twin this only bikes..giving good sounds..others with very sounds..250cc or 1000cc bikes always comes with boom boom sound like i choose..❤

I always like the deep thumping sound of long stroke bikes than those of short stroke bikes. However they always come at the cost of the performance.

V4 April la and smaller 660 mimicking the v4 sound are awesome. But mv agusta triple is so good too. Might be because lot of people never heard it. Honda vfr vtec engine is also pure gold! Like all vtec. And I might dare to say I rather get gsx1000s sound than Kawasaki 900 one. Riden both stock so might change.

The F900R and RNineT boxer engine also has a sweet sound. I think you missed the Royal Enfield listen to the Indian Royal Enfield Bullet sound it is not just a sound it is an emotion in India.

Good to see two of my current bikes in 3rd and 2nd place.. ‘24 Street Triple 765 RS and my ‘22 R1 60th World GP, great riding bikes too!! Excellent vid and keep up the awesome content. 😁

When Honda unleash the CBX back then, nobody knew they could beat all the others for the best sound, even againts 2023 bikes! Nothing else even comes close !!!

Nothing beats the sound of a Harley Davidson

The Honda CBX 1000 is a pretty decent sounding bike. Should be on the list imho.

...but, but where's my boxer?😭🤣

I think the KTM parallel twins sonds the best for a Parellel twin configuaration..🤔

They’re all still trying to sound like the old Suzuki SV lineup from the early 2000’s, especially that Trimph Bonneville!

I'm sure the rsv4 is awesome But I really really like how a choked down i4 screamer sounds like a lion ready to take anything down but is considerate and grown-up enough to keep it down

None of these come close to the sweet noise the BMW K1600 makes with its sublime inline six cylinder powerplant, especially with Remus cans.

So glad the 1200 Bonnie’s rightfully made top 5

I wonder if there is a turismo bike with the rsv4 engine. I maybe want turismo bike instead of a sports.

Call me biased but after all the bikes I've owned and ridden I still will choose my 04 zzr1200s sound over any other
