12 Of The Best Sounding 2-Cylinder Bike Engines

for good of a higher rpm power or low end torque a two cylinder can be tuned either way if need be it is only a matter of layout and a couple of other engineering details which way a manufacturer wants to aim it of course then no two different twin cylinders can sound the same neither in lines these or boxes honda vtr 1000 rc51 the rc51 was a twins on the superbike by honda created for the world superbike championship as in 1988 the rules allowed 999 ccv twin engines to participate leaving the smaller 750cc v4 contenders at the bottom of the rankings the new honda was a strong rival and eventually was even sold as a road league bike ktm 1290 super duke r the 1290 super duke r is considered the king of today's naked bags besides its crazy power it is also a torque monster supposedly making over 106 pound feet that's the peak number but from 2500 rpm the engine is already sending 74 pound feet to the wheel in short this is the most extreme version of the ktm lc8 engine so far [Music] essentially the panigale is the superbike lineup by ducati it starts at 9 59 and ends at 12.99 this one has the largest displacement of 1285 cc and lags only three ponies at the peak to have 200 horsepower there is even the panigale r model surprisingly with a smaller 1198 cc engine and 205 horsepower at 11 500 rpm it has tightened in valves and conrods during pistons and crankshaft with tucson balancing [Applause] weights [Applause] oh [Music] so bmw r9t the bmw r9t is the baked basics bike its goal was to bring a pure motorcycle without any unnecessary stuff that some bikers might not want it has a modern twin cylinder box engine with an old-fashioned air and all-cooling classic design with a circular headlight and spoke wheels the engine isn't super powerful but has some good talk so [Music] trump truckston 1200r that trackstand was already introduced back in 2004 with an even firing straight pin but in 2016 it was replaced by an all-new model featuring very similar design the engine was different though not only enlarged but also firing the second cylinder 270 degree later that's why it sounds like a 90 degree v-twin [Music] suzuki sfv 650 gladius suzuki has been offering with twin roads for a long time so far and although they are only decently powerated they are cooler than they may appear to be honest i was stunned by one i was riding at my motor school it had brutal torque and beautiful and loud sound even with the oem exhaust it was the sv650 then the sfv650 and now it is sold as the sv 650a um [Music] [Music] [Music] honda cx-650 turbo there is quite a bit of turbocharged motorcycles in the world and the cx650 definitely is one of the nicest sounding it was a 80 degree v-shaped twin cylinder with the pushrod valve train so it was meant to sound great also it wasn't very different than the cx650 which it was sourced from [Music] yamaha mt-07 with his engine excuse my subjectivity but to me this is one of the best bikes it carries yamaha's crossplane crankshaft inside which essentially is the very same thing as the truckstone has the 270 degree spaced crank pins it is also said to be a fun and joyful engine without any dead spots and not a bad fuel economy at all [Music] aprilia rsv1000r is aprilia's first large displacement motorcycle the rsv miller was a predecessor to the rsv-1000r weren't too much different the engine was pretty much the same the rotax v60 built by austrians until now aprilia was making bikes only up to 250cc so this bike brought something on a much higher level to her customers [Music] ebr 1190sx the acronym stands for eric buehl racing and most of you may have not ever heard about the 1190sx from viscosing it is said to be the very same bike as the superbike model but in more like a street fighter naked look although it isn't so naked the engine has some serious power similarly to the super duke r the 72 degree v-engine also has a different firing that's a great sound [Applause] uh so mother good cb7 a new generation of the motoguzzi v7 is anything but super high tech and that's what it was actually meant to be a retro looking classic bag with a warranty besides with this motorcycle the company also celebrated 40th anniversary of the original 1967 motoguzzi v7 introduction using a very similar power plan with a pair of 90 degree v-shaped cylinders and ohv valve train mounted longitudinally so [Music] honda cb500 the honda cb500 may be a boring even firing twin cylinder but its sound node is a joy to listen perhaps it is the pair of 34 millimeter k in carburetors or its high performance output although it was a budget friendly and imagine a suitable bike it definitely wasn't slow with its 58 horsepower in my opinion a youtuber called shaft has an extremely good sounding cb 500.
