    It's because of videos like this, why I can't get into electric bikes... Or electric cars. We need that sound that completes the experience. Well, at least to me. 🤷🏾‍♂️

    Before listening to all of them, I was sure I would prefer the M109... but, I think the V-Rod won for the best sound.

    Personally I like the sound of the gunner. I still have a sweet spot for Victory. I think most vtwins sound good if you have the right stage one on it. Never had a vrod hard to tell over a video but I'm sure I'd love it too. Thanks as always good job🤜🤛🍻

    I own a M109 and love it, but I think the v rod has the best start up sound and idle but for riding I think the victory takes it for the win cause who wants to sit around and listen to it idle when you can ride it and listen to it sing! beauty bikes !!

    I remember hearing you come up the road in Birmingham, I heard you arrive almost 45 seconds before I saw you and over a minute when you left. That M109 gave me goose bumps hearing it. For me it had to be the 109…The VRod comes in second.

    @thejohnnyraincloud4960 2 года назад +2

    I see why you love something on each of them. I have always been aftermarket exhaust on Japanese motorcycles. When you put the riding footage on… man the vrod’s dual exhaust is something else. So I have to agree with you there but the victory is magical too.

  • @patricksandeberg8184
    @patricksandeberg8184 2 года назад +3

    Great video Bicasso!
    Now I was trying not to think about the effect from the exhausts. And just listen to the engine sound coming out of the exhaust 🤔. In the garage sound check the Porsche HD wins it. On the ride the gunner’s pops and bangs! Wow man! HD was close on the ride tho.
    I grew up with my dad racing two stroke Saab V4’s and driving old HD’s and V2 Kawasakis. So the V2 and V4 engine sounds strike close to the hart. 👌🏾

    Not being a H-D fan I was surprised to find the Vrod sounds best to me, like a well tuned precision machine. It's got a smooth, even cadence and sounds nothing like the straight piped pushrod Big Twins, which to me sound like rattly, rusted out old lawn mowers.

  • @TheDarkNight52

    It might change based on hearing them in person, but I liked the 109 for start up and the gunner for revving. But for overall for both revving and start up I'd go with the vrod.

  • @snowmanrainmaker

  • @Tubaplayingator
    @Tubaplayingator 2 года назад

    My first and only bike (so far) is a used 2013 HD Vrod muscle. When I look at and compare other bikes and options I feel so spoiled; it really feels like the perfect bike for me. 1250 cc stage 1 w/Vance&Hines 2n1 to haul my 340lb frame around & brembo brakes with available ABS to stop it. 240mm rear Michelin Scorcher tire together with the huge 5gal under seat tank and top of engine air box give it an almost impossible to drop peg scraping extra wide and extra low center of gravity. The super comfortable forward controls and nice wide soft factory seat make this muscle cruiser one of the most intuitive and easy to ride bikes I have ever ridden. The engine is basically bulletproof being watercooled and designed for racing (see Düsseldorf test). Because of the hydroformed frame design the bike doesn't get the death wobble at highway speeds like a lot of other traditional Harleys. One of the best parts still is it's worst part, or should I say best part again... Because of the hate from the diehard Harley enthusiasts this bike didn't really sell so you can get a used one for cheap, but since it's a Harley and well built as long as you take care of it it can basically hold it's value; from personal experience I was just recently offered trade-in value at what I originally purchased it for.

  • @squish3r
    @squish3r 2 года назад +4

    1st: I LOVE the fact you gave us a sampling UNDER LOAD. Cold start + driveway rev is one thing, but everything sounds different under load.
    2nd: HD just knows how to do V-Twin sound for an American audience, for reals.
    3rd: Great work like usual!
    Final notes: I found your channel originally trying to research M109r sound bites a couple years ago. I have noticed that 109s don't really present their sound well in a recording - at least not how most YT videos done on a phone do (clipped mics held 6" away from a 4" hard krome roadburner...). At the time, your channel had (still has TBH) the best YT representation of a mildly modded 109. The first time I heard one in person it changed my perspective entirely. They are SO MUCH MEANER sounding in person.

    • @BrandonBicasso
      @BrandonBicasso  2 года назад

    You are right about the V-Rod sounding the best at start-up. But I think when you’re riding them the M109 and Victory sounds better. Could be that you were on the highway when you rode the V-Rod vs the back roads on the other two bikes.

    When I first watched one of your videos you were on the 9 and used a drone to film parts of the video…I was hooked from that point because you were doing two of my favorite things. Back to THIS video, since I owned an M109r (2006), you would “think” I would pick that first, BUT…
    COLD START
    1) HD
    2) Suzuki
    3) Victory
    REV
    1) Victory
    2) Suzuki
    3) HD (had a sewing machine whine)
    LOAD TEST
    1) Suzuki
    2) Victory
    3) HD
    Those are “my” picks from listening to your video through a Bose Bluetooth speaker. They ALL sound good, but they sound good doing DIFFERENT things!!!

    @MotoTvWoodsFarm 2 года назад +1

    it is tough question which the best cruiser which the best sound i am torn between the Hyabusa and the Kawasaki H2 with its super charger as the best all round muscle cruiser bike. But then with a wide choice of bikes you find each have something unique to offer yamaha with their toque monster cross plane engine, but are you happy with seat that is nearly 33inches from the floor? Or an epic Vrod out of America man they feel like you actually sitting on a can of thunder. Just for sheer epic cool noise and feel the ground shake through your motorcycle boots as you wait for the lights to change fro red to to green in 10 to 20 seconds just to be in that precise place the moment in time a V twin has street red in monster proportions. Each will have their own personal choice and each in their own unique way is right.

  • @garysmith8455
    @garysmith8455 2 года назад

    Might I add? As an M-90 owner, these engines AND the Victory have 'offset' cranks which give that classic 'pulse'. While the V-Rod is (I believe) an even crank. That is the source for the sound of those engines, what you do with the exhaust adds another parameter altogether.

    God that V-Rod sounds SO good, and better than any cruiser in existence. It sounds like a 200hp race tuned Ducati 90 degree V-twin. It even has a nasty mean gear whine. I can't believe Harley didn't try to keep that engine in production in some way, just because of the sound alone.

    @Ritalie Год назад

    Single crankpin V-Twin = GOOD sound, like a Harley. Double crank pin = Lawnmower sound at idle. You can tell IMMEDIATELY when an engine has a single crank pin, or a dual crank pin. They are COMPLETELY different sounds at idle. The single crank pin makes the Harley have that liquid-like rich textured sound that is unlike any other engine in existence, it's like multiple sounds layered on top of each other, creating a beautiful sound like an instrument - that's the single crank pin doing that, primarily. A double crank pin sounds good when the engine is a super short stroke, high revving engine with a double overhead cam and a gear whine. (TL1000/SV1000 Suzuki/Ducati/V-Rod Harley).

The Victory is definitely loud from beginning to end to me at least from the camera sound. I like that the neighbors the deer down the road every hears it all the time lol.109 has decent start up sound and the engine has this sound like it's constantly getting faster like a loud roar if it makes sense when your driving it I would love that it makes 30 sound like 80 lol. But the winner for me is the Vrod as well I want to be loud but somewhat stealthy as well just in case I'm going 80 when I shouldn't be LOL

    The V-Rod exhaust sounds good but sounds like a squeaky fan belt mixed in there.

    I was surprised to find that I liked the V-rod Sound. What we need to hear now is more of a breakdown on the ride difference. Need to add the Indian also . . .Didn't see that in the garage
