Ok so after a rather lengthy conversation, in which I completely failed to describe the differences of bike engine noises with my brum brum vocabulary I thought I would ask the mighty org...

How do you describe a V-Twin engine noise??

Twin is defo brum brum, triple is brubrubrummm, fours don't make any sound, too quiet.

When idling its more of a thump thump, when moving they sound very lazy with a sort of rumbly sound, no other sound like it though!

V-twins sound like 2 hedgehogs bumping uglies while being set on fire with petrol.

What madam needs is the dulcet tone of a refined parallel twin engine that sounds like molten chocolate being poured through silk
