The most spine-tingling engine sound - ever.

  1. I love the sound of v twins but all time favorite of mine are Honda rc30's and Norton rotaries at the TT from the 90's.

    Listening to the oncoming mayhem whilst sat in the hedgerows was spine tingling as the sound got louder and louder.

  4. Luckily I'm old enough to remember Honda's 5 cylinder 125 reving to 20,000 revs dropping down eight gears

  5. Even at 10 mph it must also be quite an experience.

  9. 6 mins 48 secs onward - quite nice.

     
  10. I had a good butchers at one of these at a show. The finish (as you might expect) was sublime. I was surprised to see a mainstream Mercedes engine shoehorned in the bay. Can’t remember which one. I think it was a 4.0l V8. Definitely a Mercedes anyway.

    * Just checked- 6.0 V12 AMG. Noice…
