Not 90 seconds later a Desmosedici pulled in and the crowd flocked to it like ducks after bread crumbs. The 1198 owner looked crestfallen. lol. As far as bikes sounding good, I don't really like exhaust noise. I do like the intake honk and gear-drive-cam whir on a CB-1 at about 10k rpm.

"Desmosecidi: A sportbike even your Mom would approve of." Triumph Tiger - interesting choice! I don't think I've ever seen one around here. I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

But, I'm biased. ;-) The triple 1050 engine is so smooth... such a unique sound. Whose mom was that in that last shot? ;-)
