The Harley sound is patented!
I have 3 and two are among the quietest out there- they are kickstart and I’m getting too old to start ‘em but hope to Get back to second kick when we move here full time.
I can tell an older UK Twin coming- like my old trophy - the valves are noisy and distinctive .and the old KAW H1 sounded like a corn popper.
Some of us Hog owners enjoy self deprication- like when we lie and say we bought it for the handling!and…90% of all harleys made are still on the road- the others made it home ok. I like the throwback sound of hogs, corn popping 2 strokes, and British twins and thumper singles .
Though we drive total ev cars I mourn the day when the bikes trade thump for hum.there are some great friendly and clever suggestions here for dealing with what might be a compensator
Good luck . .

Hey, get up and live what little life you have left. Enjoy the strong sound of powerful machines. Harley bikes have a unique sound of their own. It's interesting to be able to pick a Harley sound out of other motorcycle sounds. Kind of like being able to tell the difference between an M-16 and an AK-47 at night in combat. Some of us can even tell the difference between a Triumph and a rice burner motorcycle sound. Not much of a talent, but I take my super powers seriously.......   |
