Default describe bike engine sounds........

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??

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!
