Nice question, dude. The V‑twin’s roar is all about that low, booming growl that rolls across the highway, but if you slice it up you get those high‑pitched bite marks from the exhaust pulse that actually sound like a solo. For a speed‑bike you want the low end to punch hard, like a drum, and the high end to cut through like a guitar riff. Keep the valve timing tight, use a short, tuned exhaust, and add a little harmonic overdrive in the muffler so it turns that raw engine growl into a rhythm you can feel in your bones. That’s the soundtrack for speed, loud and clean, but still got that soul.

The toughest part is getting the low end to hit hard without drowning out the high‑pitched bite. Street bikes have to stay manageable in the city, so if you crank up the bass too much it just becomes a rumble that wakes the whole block. I’ve spent a lot of time dialing the muffler’s tuning and the exhaust length so the low waves stay clean, then tweaked the head‑gas path to keep the high harmonics sharp. It’s a balancing act – too much low and the bike feels sluggish, too much high and it sounds like a screaming engine with no power. The key is to find that sweet spot where the throttle feels responsive but the sound still cuts through the traffic.
