Curiously, Harley sounds don't raise my hackles the way a loud sport-bike does. What are they, Ducati's or something? There is just something just so shrill about their sound.



Most likely the Japanese bikes. A lot of Ducati's run in a parallel twin cylinder format, which doesn't rev as high as the inline 4's.


Captain Pedantic, swooping in to nitpick with one correction, Citizen: Ducatis run V-twins these days, much like Harleys (though that is where the comparison stops). Ducati did make parallel twins some forty years ago, and they were...less than reliable.


It was a Kawasaki.
