Would sir like some wheelspin...

[Rossie]

I may be biased, but my SV with twin Ixils on overrun is a sweet sound....brrrr....pop......pop....brrrrrrrr

A Subaru sounds good, as does a 6-cyl BMW (the older the better, imo), but Italian V8's sound sublime...but the fave? I dunno...I reckon the Italian V8s will win out overall....

Those are epic Fizz. Had to take my laptop up to my office and stick it on the docking station so I could get a proper sound system. Not often I do that at the weekend.

Queue lots of people posting video's of their own bikes however ;)

And here's the first one. After 230 odd miles of twisty roads last Saturday, I was trying to watch the telly, but kept nodding off on the sofa and slipping into a kind of mini dream then waking up again, and all the dream was, was this whine and howl, replayed by my memory over and over again. Does that happen to anybody else after a long spell on the bike? I do wear ear plugs.

Listen to the howl as he goes under the railway bridge at 2m 40s

Mazda 787/767 at Le Mans in '91, what a sound! A screaming, howling, wailing wall of noise on the throttle, and near silent on the over-run - fantastic.

RG500 hard on the gas, each fire is a pin sharp 'ping' that makes an orchestral symphomy of crackles - emotive noise.

BRM V16: So, so much better than the sound of modern GP cars.

Panoz: Gutteral, organ shaking burble - complete antithesis of the Mazda.

RR Merlin: Makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. And it's British by George! Only thing better than that is to hear four at once. At about 200 feet.

Regis Laconi's RS3 Cube.

DKW split single: The final definition of loud.

Napier Sabre: Painful, wonderful.

Deltic: Flat, but lovely, big power!

Any Funny/Top Fueler: Ground shakes, ears hurt, everything rattles. An all over visceral experience.

So many more, I barely knew where to start.

I was fortunate enough to stand at Silverstone in '95 listening to these monster V12 F1 cars, simply awesome.

I remember as we entered the circuit there was a guy offering the orange spongy earplugs for £3 a pair, I told him to sod off. About an hour later the first Ferrari went past and there I was back in the queue asking for "a nice £3 pair of ear plugs please". The noise made my entire body vibrate, it was just amazing.

I used to live 5 miles for Silverstone, in a little village called Blakesley (http://www.blakesley-village.co.uk/BlakesleyNorthants/PhotoGallery.html), 2 Cobblers Close in the long hot summer days of 1976 ( I was 8 1/2) me and my mate used to cycle over to Silverstone and climb under the fence and watch the practice cars go round... you could hear them for miles so when we heard them we used to tell my mum thats were off to watch the fast cars go round the track... Great days :0)

[BanannaMan]

A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class.....





Sorry, It is in fact Saturday Night.
Someone had to say it.

[L3nny]

This sound reminds me of being 16 again. Ahhh them were the days

This is one of the most addictive sounds ive hear in years, Mazda 787B at Laguna

Now I have to change my pants.

The first Aprilia Cube with Regis Laconi on it sounded great at Donnington, like a 60's racing car.
The Benelli Tornado Tre racer that Peter Goddard rode in WSB from 2000-02.
MV 3, Honda 6 and BSA, Triumph 3 Racing bikes being ridden in anger.
One to four Rolls Royce Merlins at a few hundred feet.
Concorde doing a low pass with undercarriage/flaps down at British GP at Brands Hatch in the early eighties, was stood on the flat roof above my parents porch, could feel the house trembling!
My SV when it had a Renegade oval endcan on it.

SidSquid is there a Napier Sabre engine runing anywhere today or did you hear it on old footage?

I haven't a clue but I rather doubt it.
I was lucky enough to hear one for real more than 30 years ago - that fantastic racket has stuck with me though!
