    The TL dose sound bad ass ,1098 freaken out of this world ,never heard the RC51 in person ,but for me it will have to be the 09 R1 with Two brothers ,maybe because I rode it a few weeks ago ,that thing just screams Faster Faster Faster .

    Excuse the Music

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

    I had a TLR for years (first Two Brothers, then M4, then Yosh), I had an Aprilia and now ride an RC.
    I think the TL and the RC both sounded better than the Aprilia. Tough call between the TL and RC for me. I like the mechanical sound of the RC better. The gear driven cams are music to my ears. Exhaust note is pretty close.
    I love the sound of the new R1. And back in the day the RC45 superbike and the Britten were amazing sounding bikes

    No, its actually not my bike.

    And as a side note, I just recently (like 2 weeks ago) got the db killers he sells....the endcaps that bolt on. The bike likes it with those on. Even smoother and less jerky with throttle imputs. $50 well spent. (plus everyone else likes the fact that its a lil less obnoxious sounding)

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

    I'm kind of partial to my SV1KS w/ carbon yoshi RS3's. Haven't heard an RC-51, so I can't compare unfortunately.

    My KZ650 w/ V&H 4-1 is a whole 'notha story. Raspiest, crappiest sounding thing until it tach's above 7000, turning into a symphony of 30 year old valves and 4 cylinder bliss. I wouldn't say she's the quickest cheetah on the prowl...

    My bike (TL-R) sounds sweeter than just about anything I've ever heard (Yosh cans)...

    So if a dude on an RC said the same thing to me about my TLR, does that mean the TLR's sound best?

    Sure, with stock pipes your TLR would sound the best i guess

    Mark's TLR maybe the best sounding bike I've heard.

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

    I am partial to 2V air cooled Ducati's myself. My race bike has a nice sound, a few of the racers on here might remember it (ie- Duczillia).

    My street bike has always gotten a bunch of complements also.

    In general though any V-twin sportbike sounds pretty good to me.
