  • Thank you so much for letting us hear the engines without crappy over-dubbed music as in so many videos.
  • @Z4G.
    Huge two stroke engines... One rev and $100 flew out the exhaust pipe. Fucking worth it tho!
  • @nickamarit
    The BMW K1600's inline-6 engine could probably be used in a small car.
  • @blipco5
    I need that Y2K for the neighbors when I suit up for a ride at 6 AM.
  • @TCPUDPATM
    These 2-strokes... holy smokes! Literally.
  • @VisioRacer
    I am not much into two-stroke engines, but some of them sound interesting. The first one especially is closed to a rotary engine. The BMW inline-6 and Yamaha crossplane inline-4 wins for me! And the Moto Guzzi!
  • @nboy7
    That Yamaha 4 sounds like a mini V8.
  • @Barberdan
    Does anybody else want to slap the dudes that feel a constant repetitious rev that sounds like a skipping record is good for showing us what the engine sounds like? Show us the whole rev range and a few throttle position combos!
  • @RutteMax
    That 6 cylinder BMW is fuckin Scary. Sounds like a RB26 :O
  • @andyharman3022
    Thanks for this video.  It has a lot of engine sounds I've never heard, but wished I had.  The Honda NR750 sounded pretty much as I expected.  The V5 had a sound that is just indescribable.  Never heard anything like it.  The I5 was wicked when the rider was revving it to 12,000 rpm, and would just be scary at 20,000.  The BMW I6 sounds as glorious as any BMW I6 should sound.
  • Visio Racer, thanks a lot man for making such videos I'm from India and we don't have a lot choices when it comes to motorcycles (mostly single cylinder) . So couldn't really. learn about the various kinds of engines but thanks to you man, got to learn a lot. Keep up the good work!
  • @bigmikeh
    For the Yamaha TZ750, privateers were getting 145hp out of them in 1977, Cycle Magazine rode Harry Klinzman's and wrote it up fairly well, with the exception of the porting specs. Kenny Roberts famously remarked that he preferred the 500cc machine, as the 750 "made too much torque".
  • @Durbanite2010
    Great video as always! I was surprised to see no Ducatis on the list - they were the only manufacturer to use desmodronic valves for years and it gave their bikes (which are mostly big V-twins) a distinctive sound. As for bikes with longitudinal engines, see Honda's CX500 from the late 1970s and most Moto Guzzis - V-twins mostly. The CX500 used a shaft drive (so did Guzzi), not chain, and there was a turbocharged CX500 available too.
