Motor sounds...

[Chad Michael]

Most of us are audio and sound fanatics.... some of us are also into motorsports and motors that do work for us. Over the years, I have loved the sound of certain ones, I will post a few here. Please add your favorite motor sounds

First, is the Detroit 3-53. Two stroke triple. Popular in the logging industry
Second, is the Polaris two stroke triple, snowmobile engine
Third, the Ducati 90 degree v- twin

Possibly the most bonkers sounding Detroit Diesel 2-stroke- the almost-mythical 12V53:

And because you absolutely cannot have too much Detroit 2-stroke sound:

As one of the comments said: "...never heard a vehicle that's so slow, sound so fast...

Man, you can just tell what kind of wild animal that H2 is. It looked as if the front end was trying to come up, even under moderate throttle. Power band that came on like turning on a light switch!

Thread does say motor and not engine

So a true motor sounding cool
