Yep - it's different cos bikes are meant to sound like that - always did and always should (non of your buzzy bee IL4 feeble attempts at sounding like a motorbike ) If you watch the any videos of the ARs you hear it.........deep rumbling burbling SVs (x 4 or 5) then a couple of buzzy bees

............and I'm allowed to diss IL4s that cos this is a SV forum haha!

I've got to admit I am warming up to the sound of IL4s (after seeing them on the track), although the bumble bee aspect would get pretty annoying I imagine. Still say you can't beat a v-twin

So it sounds like a buzzy bee with an amplifier then?

But yet old enough to use Wikipedia (mind you that would involve knowing how to spell Doodlebug properly

It was the V1 rocket - an early cruise-missle type affair made by those resourceful German types
