I think I figured out a way to describe how a Rocket III sounds

[ricochet]

Never having heard an inline triple before, upon acceleration the only way I can describe it to someone is "Sounds like a Sports Bike and a Dump Truck" mixed together... the whine of sports bike and the gurgling sound of a diesel engine.

amirite?

I've always described the TORS exhaust system as sounding like a cross between a NASCAR stock car and a John Deere tractor.

My lovely Aussie Mad Dog exhaust setup emits a mellifluous, throaty growl that is both pleasing and progressively impressive as one adds throttle.

Carpenter's Brute exhaust has an exhaust note that for me is reminiscent of an F-16 performing a steady throttle roll-on upon take-off. If the throttle is hammered it emits both bark and bite.

The Jardine exhaust reminds me of the steady stocatto of a Ma Deuce 50 caliber machine gun.

Of course, these are simply my own subjective impressions.

A couple of fellas who followed behind me a couple of weeks back said it reminded them of a BMW sports car....hmmmmmm

Jardine pipes sounds like my pop's cortina v6 straight piped sedan from back in the day...

It sounds like a Rocket, and nothing else sounds like a Rocket.

 

[TRIIICK]

I always thought it sounded a lot like a P51 Mustang...

I have been looking into doing my R3T in a shade of BRG. The one I like is darker and somewhat metallic. Tried,to upload and it would not go. May have to rename and post as I posted it back last year.

R U going to put a JD emblem on the tank?

I hear what your are saying about the P51. Kind of cool.
