The Sounds of Motocross
« on: August 11, 2007, 07:06:49 pm »
To me the sweet sound of a 2 stroke on the pipe sounds as good as the top coming off a beer but there are the sounds of the old 4 strokers and the sound of the modern 4 strokers. Which one does it for ya, or is it all of them???

I know they are too loud, but the sound of a modern 4-stroke barking and driving is superb. As a kid, I loved the sound of the TT500 and later the first couple of XR500 models. Beautiful deep notes, but without the urgency and snap of a modern 4-stroke.

But NOTHING beats a 500cc 2-stroke pulling hard through 3rd and 4th on a big open track...  BRRRAAAAAWWWWWWWRRRRRPPPPPPPPP

Tell you what used to sound good when I was a kid. A guy down the road had a GT550 with a set of chambers (Bromlech or something like that I believe). He would hammer that thing through the gears and it had this wonderful long smooth ripping sound. Superb!

And yes, a CCM at full noise sounds glorious too...

Talking old roadies, as a young fella we lived out in the country, and this guy had a z900 with a 4into1 on it and ya could hear that thing coming down the road and throttling off as he had to go round a sweeper about 100m away and then excellerate out of it.

I love the sound of 40 four strokes from when the 5 second board goes up and when the gate drops. Or either bike going through the whoops.

I love the sound of the modern motor/x bikes (both 2 and 4 stroke) about 3sec before I drop the gates  :) Darcy

Any two stroke especially when you can hear it echoing it through the bush or hear it coming up the road you know it is a two stroke but you are just hanging out to see what sort it is.
