Easy does it there, billy bully. He didn’t say it didn’t sound nice or not nice.

Hey Perception Petey, (since you like using pet names), he did.

Likewise with the ZX4RR...it's a great handling bike, super smooth, has some great features and looks cool....but the sound is mehhh in my opinion

But I guess you'd have to actually read all the posts to know that.

While inline 4 is my favorite sound, the v4 and crossplane 4 sound awesome too. I can appreciate twins as well, whether v or parallel. The exhaust sound I can honestly say i hate are the harleys with the 10 foot pole fishtail exhaust. I dont know the proper name for them but the hollow crackle pop sound makes me cringe, especially when they rev it to the 5k redline and let it decel in gear omg what a horrible sound. Which is a shame because i do like the potato sound harleys make. Cant say i want to own one, but they do sound cool.

I love the sound of the cross plane Yamaha, and Triumph triples, too.

I like the sound of a good wet fart.
It's reminiSCENT of a good ole Harley going down the street.

What's your deal man? Why are you still going on and on about this? Everyone's giving their opinions. Your opinions are not facts, they are just opinions like everyone else's. I simply said that IN MY OPINION, the screaming sound of I4 engines (besides Yamaha's crossplane R1) is not as pleasant as twins...ALL twins, or V4s. You said that you think parallel twins sound shitty...great, that's your opinion, good for you. I was also stating my opinion. Just because I don't care for the sound of an I4, doesn't mean I don't belong here, or that I don't like the ZX4RR. I've owned multiple ZX6R's and a CBR600, but it wasn't because of the sound, it was because of other characteristics...but I guess you'd actually have to read all the posts to understand that :rolleyes:

Sometimes passions collide, I think you are all right in your own ways.
Lets all just take a deep breath and get back to discussing our loves for fast machines.
At the end of the day we are all on the same team. 🤜🤛

Ban stick is primed and ready.

The topic of this thread is to bash the Aprilia 457. No one forced you to click on it. If you don't agree that's fine, but don't expect me to miraculously convert to your views on the subject.

If you're here just to argue with me and then whine and cry when you get a taste of your own medicine, send me an PM and I'll sign you up for the ZRXOA and we can take the gloves off.

an all-new parallel twin engine that makes a legally-mandated 46.9 horsepower.

Curious if thats a restricted output like the ZX4RR, ie pre-flash?

Could be. I'm thinking about buying one just to intentionally throw it down the road so I can remove that embarrassing engine and then shoehorning in one of my spare VJ21 Aprilia engines (instant 60 HP from a beautiful sounding v-twin, 2 stroke).

If it's $6500-7500 as rumored it would be fairly disposable.

Do you know the difference between a Harley Davidson and a vacuum cleaner?
































The Harley Davison can hold TWO dirtbags! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I've ridden a Harley from San Diego to Sturgis and back a few times with a bunch of posers from work, so I'm actually part of the problem. But I've vowed never to throw a leg over one of those pigs ever again. That was a weird situation where a bunch of the leadership in my company were really into pretending they were "bikers" and I had to play along to move up the ladder 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have no problems with people enjoying their Harley's.
It's when they try to live that stereotype of being a Harley owner HellsAngel wannabe, I'm Gods gift to the motorcycle universe, and only because a Harley. 🤢🤮

Just be yourself and enjoy the ride.
Brand doesn't make the person nor should it influence the behavior of the rider. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I agree 100%. I have a few good friends that ride harleys and they are good people and dont pretend to be hells angels or anything like that. Then there are those harley riders that might as well be riding around with both middle fingers pointing at everyone at all times. Thanks to south park, anytime I hear a really loud one, without thinking I start making the noise hahahaha
