a mate of mine came past me yesterday at a claimed 150mph on his cbr600 and i must say altho i am a big v twin lover the cbr sounded awesome! frightened the life out of me but still sounded awesome all the same
he said theres nothing boring about his cbr at that speed.

now thats a "V" twin

cant remember my cbr6 ever sounding like my mates but then i never followed me did i? and when your riding a bike all you can hear is the engine underneath you and not the note coming from the zorst.

I was following an R6 a while back, with a Blue Flame can... He ran it from just above idle all the way up in 2nd, sweet music...

All this talk of IL4's just makes me want an R1 even more. I don't even know why I want an R1, actualy, since it would be far to fast for me. But they do look so good. Specialy in blue. And white. And that red colour. Oh, and black. The yellow ones look great too.

I think I'll be more satisfied with my SV when the restrictors come out, and it'll actualy rev beyond 8,000 rpm. At around the same time, I'll stick on a loud can

I do love the sound of my dads GSXR, and its only got the standard (stubby little) exhaust on...

Was out last night for a good run to inverary-coming back we came down the dukes pass and heading home I spotted a couple of guys with sportsbikes parked up,5mins later i nearly had an accident in my skants when they hammered by me-sounded unlike anything I've heard before,I couldn't even tell what make the bikes were cause they were going that fast-think one was a R1 and another was an o6 plate something-can see how the speed bug gets people -more of a rasp from there bikes -I think I prefer it compared to the deep thud,thud-sorry!

I reckon last year's R1 was the best looking bike ever to come out of Japan... That rear end
