I’m lucky enough to have heard all of these bikes in the flesh apart from the Britten. So without including that it has to be between the cube and zxrr, that’s my opinion anyway :-)

My faith in humanity gets restored when I see people all over the world in awe of race bikes, and cars just as much as I am! I love it!

So awesome to see the #3 Honda RC51 - the same bike that Joey Dunlop won the Isle of Man race on. That bike is the only V-Twin to ever win the Isle of Man Senior TT race. It also won the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A truly awesome machine. Of course I am a bit biased.... I owned a 2000 RC51 and now I own a 2003 RC51. Amazing machines with incredible sound.

from 02:15-02:27, Kawasaki is the king of the all sreamers!!

Kawasaki screamer has the best sound, so as the H2 and H2R

My left ear loved this

How is the M1 not in here? That cross plane sound is so unique. It will be a future classic for sure...

Noticed? The Honda RC166 revs up to 18'000 RPM! And that was fuckin' 1966!!! Amazing! Btw the 2 best Bike sounds I've ever listened was the Laverda 750 SF and the legendary Benelli six. Awesome sounds!

For me it was Haga's R7 at Laguna Seca in the early 2000's. While just a standard inline four, he was riding the absolute piss out of it, pulling several thousand more RPMS than any of the other inlines, trying to catch the V-twins on a tight course that favored them. In the end, an insane pass on the corkscrew worked. Also, the 3-cylinder Benelli was impossible to miss. I believe it was Peter Goddard riding back then.

The sound of Honda's multis on full bore is great seen most of them in action but still love the divine sound of a dbd34 on the overrun!

Happy to see a 2 stroke made the #2 spot at least. That bike was sick and so was the rider

I totally miss the sound of two strokes....used to hear em all the time 20-30 yrs ago.

OMGoodness...that 1966 Hinda 250cc 6 cylinder sounded like the Devil's breath...

That Kawasaki Screamer sounds just like those old pre six cylinder F1 car engines!

Agostini's/Read MV 3 should be there, along with the original factory Trimph Trident 3s (race bikes).

Great list although a few iconic bikes are missing, including the Ducati 888. But awesome, nonetheless. Thanks for posting.

Brilliant and so glad you had a stroker in the line up, I can't really fault the list but a couple of golden oldies worthy of mention are Kawasakis 750 stroker triple of the 1970s and the "Slippery Sam" Triumph Trident 750 triple of the early 70s.

A beautiful bike sound is like music for ears.

Very much appreciate the RD500 footage. I rode an RD 400 and what a nice bike that was!

I don't know how many times exactly i've watched that video but the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up when the RC166 fires! 🤣

From my racing days I still love a fine 250cc 2 stroke GP bike the most/to follow, not only the sound, but the smell...

Had the pleasure of seeing the Kawasaki GP bike but the gsvr always sounded different awesome 👍

Honda RC166 250cc 6 cylinder FUCK YEAH!!

that zxrr is imo the best. thats what im tuning my zx9r 998cc to sound like. all forged with ivans kit and wet shot spray

Personally, I think the Norton rotary is the best sounding of all of them.

The Kawasaki ZX-RR reminds me, the most, of how the Mazda 787B sounds. I'd love to hear that bike going down the 2 long back stretches at Le Mans to hear it reverb off the surroundings. The other bikes had unique sounds, but I didn't really like most of how they sounded. the Norton, RC166 and the ZX-RR had honest good sounding notes. The others were just throat monsters. Not really a "good" sound, but a recognizable sound I guess. But that's my opinion. I love F1 sounding engines.

All great examples but one of my all time favorites is Peter Goddard’s Benelli Tornado from WSBK. Sweet music

NO 7. KAWASAKI ZX-RR SCREAMER 2008 AND NO. 5 SUZUKI GSV -R 2010 ARE THE BEST EVER !!!!!

A travesty! The Honda RC166 by a mile! With the MV and Gilera Fours 2nd and third! :-)

1:20 simply the best

The rd500 was sick while short shifting

Need the sound of a H2R screaming around The Isle Of Man!!

#1 Honda CBX 1050. The best sounded bike in the world 😍😎 #2 Y2K Super bike. Jet sound bike MTT.

que sonido el de la RD5oo 4 cil. 2 tiempos escalofriante...!! el video completo es un concierto para mis oidos...

.. saved by the Britten - I've heard the Britten from the seat. Nice to see some oldies in there.

Rd 500 omg :))))

Best sound ever which got me into bikingmore than 50 yrs ago was about 6 or 7 manx nortons flat out acceleration from union mills I O M circa 1963

Cool list! I like the Norton nomination :D not a lot of people remember it

All great sounding bikes and I totally agree with what is No1, but for me two glaring omissions, BSA/Triumph Triples and the Norton Manx 500 or Matchless G50

Constant goosebumps

wow ive never even heard of alot of those bikes!!!!!!! Greatest video on youtube

I GUESS YOU NEVER WAS ABLE TO HEAR A 3 CYL. TRI/BSA AT DAYTONA IN THE EARLY 1970S....PURE MUSIC 1 OLD CHAINSAWBOB

that v5 is insane

I'd buy the 250cc 6 cylinder in a heart beat!

Man the yamaha rd500 was good. Can't imagine a 500cc 2 stroke engine, must be sick

Keren vidionya... Mantap..... Sukses yaaa....

que barbaro los felicito que top ten... no me esperaba eescuchar el sonido de un yamaha RD 500 de 2 tiempos,jaja que bolassss...!! gracias....!

1966 honda 250 should have came first

Only fitting to have the greatest race bike ever built sit at number one

1:54 that taco has more torque than my car

Not bed at all , but i still remembering in 1971' th Czech Gp, Agostini's and Phil Read"s MV Augusta thundering , that was the best !

That zzr screamer sounded better than my ex lol! Nice sounding bikes! Thought my Busa sounded good..Wow!

Valentino Rossi's Hond RC211V ❤️

THe hona 6 without any doubt the best sounding bike ever

Love these sounds :D Crazy

definitely ... I'd take the Britten .....although , the Kawasaki and the Suzuki have both an awesome sound ...

zx-rr sounded the best

zx-rr sounded like f1. wtf

Rotary engine sound very nice

I haven't heard of a lot of these, cool stuff. It's your list but if I was gonna make one I'd have to include the older Ducatis like the 748 and 996 from The Matrix Reloaded freeway chase, the MV Augusta from i, robot, Suzuki SV650 and the R1 ; )

you may want to update this to include the M1 testing at Brno and the screamer Desmosedici at Indianapolis. kudos to including the SP1.

Love kawasaki ZXRR

the honda cbx 1050 had the best exhaust sound for me.

The RD500 must be like riding a big, nasty chainsaw.

#2 is not an RD500, it´s Guy Coulanges bike which started it´s life as a Suzuki RG 500, or at least the engine did. It´s an amazing build, but it´s a square 4 construction with 2 counter rotating cranks, different to the RD500 V4 construction.

Freakin hell that zx-rr sounds almost exactly like those old V10 F1 cars

Nice sounds

The VTR an brithen!! Wow. No race would in my opinion be the Honda CBX1100 what a sound.

HERE'S OUR LIST OF BEST SOUNDING ROAD BIKES kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7Bhrdx0pranYKs.html

#7 and #2 top 2

I can't believe honda cbx1050 is not in the list

All bikes should sound like that zxrr

Yes Special Motor Racing.So Good Xonda.😎❣️Xonda Pro Arm Full Raising,😕

Kawasaki "the Screamer" all life.

I bought an Aprilia Tuono because it has the most glorious sound ever, for a stock street bike.

I love how Norton sounds

Go the RD500! That was a mans racing motorcycle for sure and some real heroes did ride that bike to victory in the day.

Il est bidon ton classement mec !

I want the screamer lol

no doubt, kawasaki zx rr, the beast of the beast, screeeeeeameeeer of them all, ninja rules

Wow super 😎😎😎

I'd order these 10 bikes VERY differently... 10 - Honda VTR1000SPW (a Ducati of the same era sounds A LOT better) 9 - Suzuki GSV-R (Suzuki MotoGp bikes always sounded like crap, the 2002 one was horrible to hear) 8 - Britten V1000 (again, Ducatis sound better) 7 - Yamaha R1 - GTM94 team (not that special) 6 - Yamaha YZR500 (I honestly don't think that's a RD500, looks a lot newer) 5 - Honda RC211V (this video makes it sound worse than it is) 4 - Norton NRV588 (rotary, DUH) 3 - Kawasaki ZX-RR (4 cylinders never sounded better) 2 - Aprilia RS3 Cube (if only this bike had been faster) 1 - Honda RC166 (yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes)

#2 not yamaha, suzuki rgv500 hill climb france

No Ducati MotoGP Screamer ridden by Capirossi. It way one of the insane sounding bikes.

AKRAPOVIČ!!!💪👍👍

rc166, masterpiece

where is Honda cbx 1050 ??

I miss the 6 cylinder MV Agusta which was driven by Agostini

Yamaha RD500 😍

The 'rd500' is wrong... its an rgv 500 from suzuki

Awesome

no.9👍

That was Cameron Donald on the Suzuki GSVR at the Isle Of Man.

Can't take this seriously as it doesn't contain the VFR750RR (RC30).

Zxrr all the way man

RSV..RC30.RC45.. MOTO GUZZI V8..CBX1000..Z1300..KTM 1290..996..MV500/3..COMMANDO...there is lots of epic sounding bikes,the ducatis always had a good sound,even some of the small 250 strokers were nice on full wack,the Aprilia rs 250 or the honda rs 250 were good with proper cans, the old gsxr 1127 with the old yoshi race system was good,even the old Daytona with good system was nice, old z900 with open kerkers(mad max!!)...sound is subjective but for me best sound is my cub 50 sneaking off to the pub without the wife knowing come home hearing the worst sound ever.

Mabey a rotary super bike, or something from the Battle of the Baggers.

5:52 Why would anyone use a flash on a camera pointed directly at the rider at the apex of a curve? It’s way too far away to illuminate the subject, but not too far to cause a momentary distraction.

No CR500 ? Outrageous 👊
