    Or an Aprilia RSV V-Twin with MIVV GP Carbon exhaust. I walk the bike down the street before starting her up when I commute on it. damn thing is louder and better sounding than my neighbors Harley with V&H straight pipes.
    U could fit a large potato down the back of the pipe.

    The RC is nice, but there are so many great-sounding bikes.

    I happen to love the sound of a well-sorted Triumph Trident air-cooled triple:

    And speaking of triples... the sound of a Kawasaki H2 two-stroke triple is truly magnificent.

    The Mille R with that Akra or whatever it has sounds best IMO. Like an RC, TL, or duc without the lazy revving character.

    Re: Is a piped RC the best sounding bike you can buy?

    The answer to the original question is yes.
    Everytime I start up my Sato'd RC it gives me a special feeling.

    I think my 98 VFR, and the 09+R1s sound the same and pretty damn cool, too. There are alot of great sounding bikes out there.

    But anything that isn't a twin just doesn't have the bass of 500cc per pulse.
    Sounds like a goddam machine gun.

    I'm biased, but the RC of course.

    This isn't my bike, but a very similar setup. I haven't heard a sicker video, they guy seems scared to blip the throttle!

    Re: Is a piped RC the best sounding bike you can buy?

    I like the sounds of the Akrapovic on my Aprilia. But I've quite a few great sounding bikes, usually the thunder of twins.
    I like the off idle rough and unsteady sound the best, like that you would hear from a formula one engine right before it breaks loose.
    Great vids by all. Trying to figure out how to turn them into a phone ring.

    Heard/saw one in downtown Indy back in August. It sounded great, pure nasty.

    Between the TL or RC though, it's TL all the way.

    Well if your looking for goose bumps my 1K with the straight mid and the Jardine GP1 slip ons is the ticket. Anything over 10 K and I feel the fillings in my teeth start to vibe out!
