That is a bike id like. Is there a link on its build? Millyard built? Similar to his stuff.

Long ago a was racing my nitrous Bandit at Avon Park Raceway drags. It had a pretty loud straight through can on it, I went up against an old H2 triple, a money pit genuine Denco King Cobra. When we staged to launch I genuinely couldn't hear my own bike, the noise from his just cut through me, I could feel it as much as hear it. Denco race pipes with no cans. Audible pain!

Did you win that run?

Not a hope in Hell. Stock wheelbase Bandit running 60hp of nitrous just wanted to point at the sky, long low screaming drag bike was gone!  160hp (guesstimate) Bandit was good for wheelies and show boating, but not quick off the line.



My Nitrous Bandit, big bore Kat and GSXR at Avon Park.

I really liked the sound of my Triumph 1200 Thruxton with Vance and Hines mufflers and cat delete. Also had one of the first Yamaha TRX 850's that came into Australia.  It had aftermarket cans and was loud. It used to crack when started, I was always setting off car alarms lol. I do like the sound of twins, I had a Ducati Diavel with an aftermarket muffler and it sounded sweet.

TRX do sound good. Had Diavel with Zard , not too bad, nearly 3g exhaust. Contis on old Ducati rocked, Contis on old 650 Yam were great, Contis on GS1000 with opened up headers was beautiful. I do like my current Tri Oval on 14, DB  killer out. Most 270 degree twins sound so good. CBX Honda, 6 open cans, thats the best. Benelli same. You can guess my most hated, dominant brand around here.

Best sounding bike that I've ever heard was at a swap meet, somewhere in central england in the 90's. Waiting in line to park up on the grass and the ground next to me starts shaking with a massive thud, thud beat. Was a ducati 888 with a set of pipes. Remembered that ever since.

Many reckon the best sounding bike ever was the honda cbx1000 (straight six) and, to be fair, it does sound a bit like an old F1 V12 engine when its at full chat.

My triumph t595 with high level stubby carbon race can , that thing screamed on full chat.

My old gs1000(1100 kit) with pod filters and a stainless copy of a works Harris collector exhaust was an amazing sound when ridden hard .
The old 8valve motors were great .

One of my favourites pipes, sooooo nice.

Had a Buell with a V&H can, sounded lovely.
Got a bit louder when the can fell off whilst out for a ride. Had a 20mile ride home with can stuffed down me leathers sticking over me shoulder like a periscope (nothing to see officer).
Carburettor fell off on a different trip, that was an "interesting" ride home.

@Tony Nitrous I still have the 4-1 part of it but not the 4 downpipes in the garage as I would hope to use it again 1 day .

[Milts]

 2 of my previous X1 Buells, great sounding bikes, attitude and questionable reliability    

[AndyB]

Without a doubt my CBX.....Removed the silencers to leave the 6-2 down pipes.

And my pals z1300....6-1...no silencer...just a chrome car turn out....

Both sounded amazing on full chat racing each other down the A1

I just sat here and put up with worst. Open pipes, revving at max, around 5k RPM im guessing, then the big back off backfiring, then goes again. So many of them, so many exact same sound. Only electric vehicle im hoping for is Harley.
