Amazing how much the R1 sounds like the D16
Very cool [thumbsup]
Not sure why the Sedici and the R1 sound alike...
R1 - 180-90-180-270 or 1-0-1-1-0-1-0-0-
D16 - 90-200-90-340 or 1-1-0-1-1-0-0-0-
Or do I have the info wrong?
Very cool!
IMO RSV4 was freaking amazing!

That Recording sounds nothing like the D16.
Awesome, thanks for sharing.....the Desmo was my fav
Hmm...that recording sounded pretty accurate to me. And yes, the R1 and D16 sounded similar.
The R1 with race exhaust sounds amazing on the track. [evil]
Ducati on a race track have always had a unique sound. Even back in the '60s you could tell when there was a Ducati single in the pack. [thumbsup]

Well, it's much raspier in person. Also, riding one without ear plugs makes your ears feel like they are bleeding. [thumbsup]
Very true, the D16 is MUCH raspier. And also must agree with the volume. I rode behind one a while ago and couldn't even hear my own full arrow exhaust...lol.

Yep. Got to listen to one of these in person last weekend. Thing sounded flippin' nuts!
that clip's a cool find!
That Aprilia RSV4 sounded amazing. :o
The only were only two that I didn't really like. The inline 3 and the inline 4. [thumbsdown]
The triple does nothing for me. Not the tone, nor the whirring.
The D16 in this recording does not sound like the D16s in our shop.
Likewise, the 1*98 sounded a lil' too mellow, not what i'm accustomed to hearing from these bikes. Should have used an air-cooled one I 'spose.
Should have thrown an RC51 sound byte in there as well. The CBR1000RR 4cyl sounded like a track/race bike, so I didn't mind its sound, just not what I like hearing coming from the bike I'm on.
I liked the 1198 the best.
I also liked how you could hear people laughing in the background - like holy sh!t that sounds good.

yeah, the triple sounds like an electric lawnmower.
i love the idea of the engine but ... meh.. maybe it's the intake and exhaust sound tuning.. i know those airboxes have resonators on them...
Could the similar sounds between the crossplane I4 and the D16 be due to the similar big bang firing order? Just my guess after some googling.
