This is for all the Twinners who wax lyrical about the V Twin roar.
I was at the Hawes inn today in SQ and chatting to a bunch of bikers. Dukes, SVs, Harleys, Blades ZXs etc. Anyways...we all heard a REALLY REALLY loud bike coming towards us from the high street direction. A few of the V twin guys started waxing about the V Twin sound and how it couldn't be beaten. They were all going listen to this it will be a raptor or a Duke with Termo cans on it... So... you can imagine the total surprise/laughter/shock when a young guy rolled up on a YZF-R125!!! It was absolutely totally side splittingly hilarious (and I will admit to a huge amount of shock/surprise). Even I thought it was something like a raptor. His bike had an aftermarket can of some sort and I kid you not this was louder than the bikes around us. I think some of the guys are going to post this on their forums so I'll keep an eye out. LOL and Kudos to the young guy on the 125 Last edited by stuartyboy; 02-09-09 at 05:13 PM. Reason: crap spelling - fingers like coos tits |

Yep, heard one of these before and thought it was either a big bike or a small bike without an exhaust, surprised myself with almost being fully correct with the latter.
Thinks so - they're fast as foo though (for a 4 stroke 125) I sometimes go for a jaunt with a kid on one and I've looked in the mirror and almost fallen off as I didnt expect him there at an indicated 09mph spot the intentional typo

Singles can sound great, have you heard the optional Termigoni that comes with the DRZ400SM? Seriously addictive noise, just makes you wanna turn the throttle all the time.
