I have listened to many hundreds of engines in my day, old school and modified in many ways, the exhaust note of the 918 at Nurburgrung, the best for my ears. Maybe I am going deaf...LOL

On a Jred 2166 that has been transfer port modded and this muffler. Not sure if it’s a distinct sound or just amazingly loud!Run it with that bar cover on and it will have a distinctive sound...for a while anyway.....
Like the clean look of that MM

Can’t take credit for the muff. Bought from a guy on the other site, he does great work. Me welding with my shakes and it looks like a volcanic eruption when I’m done.

I remember hearing a big Homelite on the next ridge, I could tell which model and who was running it.
Rollie Free, Vincent Black Lightning, 1949, 150mph.
Oh Yeah. A great photo.
One year when I was there as a timer they had a Vincent convention.......overload......
In the movie "Worlds Fastest Indian" he's played by the guy with a cigar and cowboy hat.

It started out as chainsaws, but hey it don't bother me none lol. Seems like all the new saws kinda sound the same unless they've been modified. But all the old iron had a tone all thier own.
It's just like cars, they all sound the same too with the exception of supercars. But back in the day you had cars with enough camshaft duration and overlap to cause that choppy idle, and they were rolling off the line that way. Freakin awesome

If we go outside of saws my favorite music would be large cube radial aircraft engines. Then a cammed up V-8 with headers and oversized exhaust pipes ran through flowmaster mufflers.
Kawasaki H2 750 triple, tuned pipes, doplar affect. Nothing like it.
Just without the Doppler affect
I can bet that wasn`t yesterday. During the late 50`s and all through the 60`s the big reed valve saws had their own distinct sound, even when we were 1/4 mile apart individuals models could be recognized.

My 707g and my 73 Triumph 750 Bonnie. They each have their own sound, and it’s music to my ears. The old Homie was sitting outside for a while so it had to be disassembled to get her back in running order, I’ll do a full restore some day. The Bonnie still has the original paint on the tank.
I remember when those Kawasaki triples first came out. My college roommate and a friend both got one and rode home for the summer on them - Providence to Memphis. They were beautiful machines and blew away everything on the road at the time.
If you could keep the wheels vertical!
