What gives the unique sound of Harleys is the way the engine is designed.
‘’What you are actually hearing is the sound of the compressed gases in the cylinder escaping when the exhaust valve opens. Each pop is the sound of the exhaust valve opening one time, and it happens on every second revolution of the crankshaft.” Google
And to my ears that engine sounds melodic. The rest of the bike is also designed beautifully and with lots of love.
While it is not my favorite bike (I like sports bikes) but to me, the Harley is a thing of beauty. |
That is the description of every four stroke engine - a Harley, a Kawasaki, a Ford, a Toro, and a Yamaha golf cart. A Maserati sounds better than a Ford and a Harley sounds better than a Suzuki due to the design of the engine but they are all for stroke engines as described in the google response.
