The Bean That is funny. I thought exactly the same for many years. And that's exactly why i had to do this video. I think it is going to be very useful for many people. Thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.
Thank you for this lovely video, for me the best engine sound is a v-twin and I had this opinion before I even knew about cafe racers. When I was younger one of my neighbors had a Ducati Monster, when I first heared that v-twin engine sound I suddenly fell in love. It's been over 20 years and I'm still in love.
I'm currently the owner of 4 Honda small displacement motorcycles A CB350 Four, CB350 Twin, CL200 Twin and a CB125S. All sounds except a V twin. The CL200 is to be the Cafe built bike in the collection and a lot of the inspiration and design ques are thanks to your fantastic channel. So, Cheers from the States!! Zip~ And, thank you!
you have treated the subject in a very cultured and refined way. I own a Guzzi café and my wife a Dnepr bobber. I believe that engine's musicality is a synthesis between the temperament of the motorcycle and that of the biker. It is a perennial search for the maximum approximation according to the personal changes. regards from Italy .....and no, you're not crazy, you're just passionate.
What a beautiful video! You just don't produce videos and pictures of beautiful motorcycles, but you also show us how to tune and select a motorcycle. I just loved the combination of the music and the sound of the exhausts. Thank you my friend, as always.
I love them all, but one stands out in my memory and has for years. I was hitch hiking through New Jersey on my way south. I got out at the exit, and walked down into the outskirts of a small city for a cup of coffee at a diner. Must have been about nine AM on a Sunday morning and I heard one of the sweetest sounds ever. It was one of the early CB 750's in a mild chopper with a Kerker 4 into 1. It was in perfect tune, stopped at the intersection waiting for the green. Sweet quiet burbling sound as it idled there. Then, the light changed and a long smooth acceleration, up through the gears. I knew then what they meant by "a symphony of sound" from a motorcycle. It probably wasn't just the sound alone that caused it to remain with me all these many years. It was the very first rigid frame CB 750 I had seen, and the proportions were just right. It was not at all flashy as many customs were at that time. It just looked purpose built, simple; nothing there that wasn't needed. Just a moment in time. Just the right moment. And that sweet, sweet sound...
I built the exhaust system on my Jawa 500 R single cafe racer from scratch, using a bit of mathematics. One header (2 x exhaust valves and 2 x pipes) is a calculated length longer than the other, before running into the Y piece for the single home made silencer (a megaphone front and race can tube end). It "comes on cam" at 6,000 RPM and carries on up to 11,000 RPM. At cruising speeds it sounds like a 4T single. As it hits the power the exhaust note changes into a 4 stroke like warbling roar, because of the header pipe length differences. My favourite bike engine sound is the cat trapped in a washing machine howl of a 2T 3 cylinder with K&N filters and expansion pipes. Not the best as cafe racers as they don't like corners.
The Guzzi @ 5:14 is drop dead gorgeous! Had a Guzzi Daytona RS pulled on me from a stoplight the other day. Like watching a run away bullet train. It was magnificent. Say, where's a V4? Great to see the classic CBX though. And as usual, great vid!
Ultra80s The V4 has an amazing sound. Unfortunately, it is very rare, or almost nonexistent between the Cafe Racer machines. Maybe there is just 1 or 2 VFR projects, but nothing special. That's why i never mentioned about this engine. But the principles about V engines were explained with the Moto Guzzi engine example. Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
Omg this si one of the best youtube channels ive come across in a long time motorcycle or not. I own an Xr650r right now but i think i know what my next bike will be.
i have a 82 yamaha xj550r that im building into a cafe racer its taken my a while but im getting the money is really short but my pipes i made i have all 4 under my tail it sounds great like 2 twin cylinder yamaha 650's here in my state in the usa the police frown apone cafe racers they dont see the class the richness an the real soul these bikes have nor the heritage behind them either so cheers an happy motoring my fellow cafe racer owners an builders 🍺👍
+Tom H You are right. There are some tricks to disguise the sound of a 4 cylinders, and transform it in a twin sound. It's not the same, but at least it looks like. But in the end, it is all a matter of personal taste. Good luck for your project. Thanks for sharing your story. Cheers.
awesome video, racer TV ! oh what a lovely things you people are doing, I am just thrilled with each episode of yours, love you guys for all what you did. I am dreaming cafe racer for the past few years and here is my good time I came across your TH-cam video, thanks a ton folks, you are giving the shape n confidence to my dream to be a reality soon. thanks Bala.
The L-twin of Ducati with a nice exhaust which makes a bass sound is for me the best sound. I felt in love since the first time that I listened it. Nice video ;)
+MrTemplarious Thank you. The Ducati's V twin engine sound, is very similar to the Moto Guzzi engines, because of the 90 degrees angle between the cylinders. I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
Earlier this season one of the group I ride with had a Triumph "Sprint" three-cylinder inline with an aftermarket exhaust and I was incredibly impressed with the sound of that bike. It snarled like a big predator, which I believe is the word you meant to use in English as opposed to "snore." A "snore" is a noise made whilst sleeping. Otherwise a commendable presentation. ~ S ~
TheCarablanco Well, when i say snoring, I mean the vibrating sound of the engine, caused by the timing between the sparks. In Portuguese, we also use "Snore" to the sound caused whilst sleeping.But "Snoring" can also be used to describe this vibrating sound of engines.Thanks for sharing your opinion. Cheers.
Este é daqueles vídeos que quando se dá por ela, já se vai na terceira ou quarta visualização seguida. Muito informativo e adoro quase todos aqueles roncos...
I agree that most 2 cylinder Engines sound better than 4 cylinder Engines. Have you heard a Triumph Thruxton with a British Customs Predator exhaust? It sounds Amazing!
Great video. My Kawasaki LTD 1981 1000cc it sounds like none of these bikes but it sound like a Sport bike. I love the sound when i push every gear to the limit.
jose mind Thanks. I think our tastes about engine sounds, is always evolving. Several years ago, i would prefer the sound of a 4 cylinders. But today, i really love the 2 cylinders sound. Thank you for sharing your comment. Cheers.
Like with so many things, sound is a personal preference. For instance my V Max with a 4 to 1 header had a sound that for me was as sweet as any symphony. I couldn’t rev the engine without a smile on my face. It excited me. I am just beginning my first cafe build. I chose a bike not chosen by many. It doesn’t lend itself well but I want to try it anyway. It is a 1986 goldwing. I plan on a 4 to 1 header on this as well. I hope I will enjoy the sound as much as my V Max. Oh my every day bike is a Moto Guzzi California 1400. I’ve put on about 30000 miles so far. It has been a wonderful experience so far
As always, I totally agree with you Victor ! Unless you are one of the few who has a CX650 instead of the rest of us with a CX500 ! Then, there is just something very special about that distinctive crack ! The sharper pitch of the engine note ! Yep ! I'm jealous ! ! ! LoL !
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. I think i understand what you are saying. I am not sure if a CX 500 will make the exact same sound of the CX650 with the peashoooters exausts. The way the engines accelerates is different. But on a constant speed and with the same exausts, i think it will be very similar. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV You are correct Victor. It's all about the compression ratio, and of course there's just no compromises for displacement ! Going to try the 97mm Mikuni's, and shaving a few thousandths off of my cylinder heads. See what that can accomplish next !
Sempre achei o som dos V2 semelhante com os V8 small block! Particularmente, o som que eu mais gosto é o dos 2 cilindros em linha (boxer), é o típico som de uma motocicleta, não se parece em nada com o som de um carro. E os monocilíndricos também tem seu charme. Parabéns pelo vídeo, excelente!
secret of the best sound...is the soul of your bike...my little ybr 2005 basic version, only 10 years at my side...had a good inside sound from a small engine, combine that with a v2 exaust pro tork, I love what my bike sing to me...
fun video. dig the music too. the bike that sounds most like a V8 to me is the new R1. i literally thought a stock car was coming up the mountain the first time i heard one. beastly.
You missed one. To me, the best sound is a V4 with twin exhaust. My particular bike gets compliments when I am in traffic. When I make it how on the road, there is never anyone near enough to issue the compliments. I usually say the only thing better than the sound of a V-twin is two of them.
+Doby Pilgrim I agree with you. The V4 has an amazing sound. Unfortunately, it is very rare, or almost nonexistent between the Cafe Racer machines. Maybe there is just 1 or 2 VFR bikes. That's why i never mentioned about this engine. But the principles about V engines was explained with the Moto Guzzi engine example. Thanks for sharing your experiance with your bike. Cheers.
One of your best videos yet. I have a couple bikes. One is a 1975 Suzuki GT380. It's a two-stroke triple. You should explore the sweet sound of two-strokes in one of your videos.
There are a couple of things missing on this video (great videos, by-the-way). Many twins have 180 degree crankshafts, two that I used to own did Honda 350 and 450, whereas the CB175 and 200's had 360 cranks as per British twins. They sound completely different.The whole point of individual pipes is to ensure maximum power, Honda did not go all those years racing multi-cylinder 4 strokes with individual pipes without a damn good reason. Individual pipes weigh a lot more, have more drag and get in the way, the answer is power. Each cylinder has a pipe tuned to give maximum power over the rev range desired.When you join pipes, this seriously interferes with the acoustic supercharging. 3 into 1 exhausts can get away with it but 4 into 1 have serious interference. 2 into 1 on a 180 degree crank engine would be silly, unless it is for style only.Many have 4 into 2, but with 1-3-4-2 firing (the most common), the pipes of cylinders 1 and 4 should be paired, as should 2 and 3, to get even pulses and consistent acoustic lengths.Many so-called café racers have pipes "designed" with absolutely no consideration to the acoustic lengths, some even with straight tubes all the way. The same applies to inlets, where many stick on the K&N style filters. These usually have a very short tube length, way shorter than the factory tube. This is OK if you are going to rev it to the extreme (i.e. take the ratio of the lengths (from inlet valve to end of tube) of stock versus the new and multiply that by the original max power revs eeekk!!! you'll be on the wrong side of the red on the tacho). These are all tuned lengths, for the exhaust the lengths are a lot longer because the higher pressure, hotter gas has a higher speed of sound - the reverse cone shape means that long taper causes a negative pressure at the exhaust valve, helping remove the exhaust gases, then the reverse taper sends a positive pressure wave back into the cylinder just as the exhaust valve shuts - supercharging the cylinder with fresh fuel-air mixture that had snuck out the exhaust valve.Changing the reverse cone has a distinct effect on the sweet spot of the power band (in conjunction with the cam of course).I've never had one but I always love the sound of a triple (except the 180 degree Jota that is).
Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, these matters are too complex to explain in a 5 minutes video. But thank you for your suggestion. Cheers.
Ja a algum tempo que ando a sonhar alto a ver estes videos fantasticos. Nunca pensei que fosse um Portugues a faze-los. parabens meu amigo, continua. Uma dica para um futuro video era uma cafe racer com base numa dirt bike tipo DT por exemplo. Vi algumas fotos e ha quem consiga fazer milagres
This is the 3rd time I´m watchin´this video!! Can´t get enough of it. I´m a machanic full of passion when it comes to Cafés. But it´s rare, that someone explanes you the system of composition of the engine sound.!! Nice work!! Really nice job!! But by the way.. can you tell me the Interpret of the music playing in the background? I´d like to have that song tuned on, when I´m riding :-) Greetings from Germany!! Take care, ride save!!
+Lars Herrmann Thank you. I'm glad you liked. This song is based in this original version: "Freedom - Anthony Hamilton and Elayna Boyton (Karaoke Version)". Cheers.
Excellent video...informative, fun and cool. I have a one, a two, a three and a four cyclinder bike and love them all but the three, as you say...is the most exotic. Thanks for sharing your passion
Mais um vídeo ao nível do melhor que se faz pelo mundo, senão mesmo o melhor dentro do género. BRILHANTE! Um dica que sai da minha modesta opinião, no caso um COMPLEMENTO a este vídeo que trata da musicalidade: - um vídeo que fale e mostre o comportamento e o temperamento de cada uma das configurações de motor já mostradas e muito bem explicadas. Sim, porque temos a música mas a forma como é "entregue" aos ouvidos do piloto é bastante distinta. Ou seja, para alguns, a melhor música pode não ter a melhor dirigibilidade, etc, etc, etc. Um tema mais "complicado" mas perfeitamente à altura do autor destes vídeos, não tenho dúvidas. Dito isto, as minhas FELICITAÇÕES pelo trabalho. Venha o próximo.
zardportugal Muuuuuuito obrigado pelo elogio. Gostei da sua sugestão, e já tomei nota para um futuro video. Por acaso já tinha pensado em fazer um video sobre o som dos vários tipos de escapes que existem no mercado para as cafe racers. Mas tambem gostei da sua sugestão. É algo para começar a pensar na melhor forma de o demonstrar em video. Mais uma vez, muuito obrigado pelas simpáticas palavras e pela ótima sugestão. Abraço.
Excelente. Mas a "logística" é mais complicada porque será preciso ter vários escapes para o mesmo modelo, isto para manter a carburação e a admissão, vectores que mudam o som dos motores. Uma grande idéia, seja como for. Se a isso houver a possibilidade de uma ida ao banco de ensaio..... ouro sobre azul.
zardportugal Pois. Não é fácil ser o mais realista possivel. Mas penso que dará pelo menos para transmitir a ideia geral da nota sonora dos escapes. Já estive a ver vários videos com escapes iguais aos da minha Honda Cb 125, e mesmo em motas de cilindrada superior(e com 2 cilindros), a nota sonora do escape é practicamente idêntica. Mesmo não sendo tão realista como devería, acho que irá ser muito útil para muitos Cafe Racers. Vamos ver o que consigo fazer. Abraço.
zardportugal Estive a ver o seu video "Honda 750 Sevenfifty - Bezerro", mas parece que são da versão curta. Os meus escapes têm 70 cm de comprimento. A não ser que já tenha comprado outros escapes entretanto?
The Yamaha VStar 650 V twin with Vance And Hines shotgun-shorty dual pipes sounds like a Harley at low rpm and like a Nascar stock car at cruising speed.
Great content as usual, but i couldn't not point out that the funny memes didn't fit the atmosphere of the video, the relaxing meditative atmosphere we are used to.
My inline twin have a 270° crank shaft and it sounds like a V-twin while idleing and up to 4500rpm, after the 5000rpm it becomes a totally different engine sounding like a small sport-bike i use a 2 exhaust configuration, i want to make a 2-1-2 exhaust in the future for better torque..
RACER TV Im planning to make a cafe racer from my Sanglas 400Y: fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t31.0-8/10535588_293819627468116_101491071780546923_o.jpg
HegozZz I did not know that brand. It seems to be a great base for a cafe racer project. I advise to put in the garage the original parts. Can prove to be very useful in the future. Good luck for your project. Saludos.
very interesting video and good to know as we have such a wide range of machines out there. however; nothing compares the two cylinder sound to my liking
I'm pretty new to bikes and since I was a kid I heard some bikes sound like V8's and always wondered what engine/exhaust setup caused this. I now want a V twin.
Could you make a video about exhaust types? I'm still thinking wich exhaust i should choose but I lack in mechanical skills and a video like this could help me out so much! Cheers
Thanks for your suggestion. I already thought about that, but is not easy create a video about so many different kinds of exhausts. But i'm going to try it. :) Cheers.
My moto guzzi griso with new chip & exhaust from terminoni 2 into one ! Tuned 😃Roar 😘 I love it other bikers comment on the beautiful sound! I love it!
Thanks for such a thoughtful video. Car videos do a lot more explication of why they love their toys. Nicely done. Do one on exhaust sounds now. Can you start with the type of exhaust on that Guzzi?
Ok, I love the big singles, high compression inline fours; along w/ 2 cycle inline twins (like the Yamaha's); but it's not the sound I love so much as they way they perform; in their own right, as individuals; yes different, but oh so beautiful of a feeling....when you ride them.
yes, but it`s so rare, I still remember a bitsa Norton, with a long stroke engine, a friend built, 40+ years ago. Went like snotoffastik. Sounded like a machine gun. It left my T120 for dead! But he WAS nuts. & a mechanical genius. later, I had the last 450 Ducati desmo, very similar. only smaller lighter & OILTIGHT. It handled SO WELL.it was unbelievable. A Brilliant little toy, It Ate rear spokes, cl` cables & ign system, passengers hated it, but I loved it. I then had a Long love affair with the Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans (mk1, mod`d) which Growls & Howls. Never lost control under braking, Strong, simple fast & surefooted. Quite beautiful, Also is so long running; it was never really improved; switches,propstand etc.if anyth`they spoiled em. Highly recommended. gvfm.
Great video...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Just to add some info, if I may.. Beside the engine configuration, the pattern or rhythm of the engine timing is also greatly influenced by the shape of the crankshaft. For example, Ninja 250 & Benelli TNT 350 & Triumph Bonneville, they all have 2 cylinders in line engine (a.k.a parallel twin), but they all have different engine sound character, which caused by different timing between the first cylinder and the second one, due to their different crankshaft timing.. same thing happens to many bikes which have V twin engine, but somehow have so different engine sound character.. Other example: When Honda built a cruiser bike named VFC750 Magna, they took the engine from their sports bike VFR750 Interceptor (a V4 engine), and they intentionally changed the crankshaft, in order to create a different engine sound which somehow a little bit closer to a V Twin engine.. Well, just a thought... take care & keep up the good job, guys...✌🏽✌🏽👍🏼👍🏼
i have to disagree with the use of multiple exhausts in 4 cylinder bikes. i think the opposite, for a 4 cylinder and even better the 6 cylinders using 1 exhaust makes it sound a 100 times better
george lucas weiss isolating each cylinder is the best way to go. More power and a sharper sound rather then all 4 cylinders blasting out the same hole.
It would be a fair comparison if all bikes in the video would have the same exhaust. Silencers can make huge difference in sound, even the pipe length. If you are "experienced" you can ignore the silencer and focus on the engine sound itself to compare.
Every day I daily my Yamaha Chappy LB80 Auto. Modified... at full throttle' the sound is so child like exciting (boy hood days feeling). Anf the ride is like being on Aladin's magic carpet.
To listen to the ultimate sound of multiple exhausts, check out the classic Honda rc range. Rc116, rc166 etc! The multiple exhausts become relevant!! C.j's wild rides!!
the sound of a thrashed 900 Ducati on the over-run in a tunnel is exquisite. So too, the Manx Norton, the 450 Desmo & the BSA Gold Star . Laverda Jotas(120 +180`cranks) made different evocative sounds; and the 3 cyl Tiumph Daytona etc barking/singing could lead a man astray/ BUT; 1 time; at Brands Hatch I heard a demonstration of the 6 cyl 250 Honda. A Shrill "Tone" Electrifying; almost unreal; Like nothing else I`ve ever heard. but the most charismatic of all.the Moto Guzzi V8, luckily recorded on vinyl, its sound can be found, on TH-cam; sounds of the IoM TT 1956/7, I think. By Murray Walker`s father Graham.
Which engine configuration was the very first opening scene, from my education received from the video, the V7 perhaps? It was something special, my favourite. Great video, very interesting.
Such a great video, thanks! I’m working on a bmw r65 café racer project. What would you say is a good pick for the exhausts? How do I find one that also makes noise while decelerating? Thanks 👍👍
Hi the video is great. The bike showing the on board footage starting at about 1 min 10 sec is the bike i built. It's a 1984 cb400n i bought for £300 it was the first cafe i built i sold it to a guy from Bristol area in the summer 2014. I recognize that top yoke anywhere. How did it end up in one of your video's?
James Browning That's interesting. Small world isn't it?Considering this is a informative video about bikes, youtube consider reasonable to use a few seconds of other videos. I included your bike in this video by several reasons.The beauty of the landscape, the good and well finishes of the bike, and the exhaust sound which is the typical cafe racer Twin engine sound.I really try to locate the original video footage from your bike, but i lost the track.Sorry. Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you liked the video. Cheers.
One of the best videos on motorcycles ever made by an enthusiast in my humble opinion. deserves a million views!
Thank you. But maybe you should see this one: th-cam.com/video/0sC83b2RXb4/w-d-xo.html
I've been wanting someone to make this video for years. A comparison of sounds between different engine configurations. Thank you!

Like with so many things, sound is a personal preference. For instance my V Max with a 4 to 1 header had a sound that for me was as sweet as any symphony. I couldn’t rev the engine without a smile on my face. It excited me. I am just beginning my first cafe build. I chose a bike not chosen by many. It doesn’t lend itself well but I want to try it anyway. It is a 1986 goldwing. I plan on a 4 to 1 header on this as well. I hope I will enjoy the sound as much as my V Max. Oh my every day bike is a Moto Guzzi California 1400. I’ve put on about 30000 miles so far. It has been a wonderful experience so far
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
As always,
I totally agree with you Victor !
Unless you are one of the few who has a
CX650 instead of the rest of us with a
CX500 !
Then, there is just something very special about that distinctive crack !
The sharper pitch of the engine note !
Yep !
I'm jealous ! ! !
LoL !
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. I think i understand what you are saying. I am not sure if a CX 500 will make the exact same sound of the CX650 with the peashoooters exausts. The way the engines accelerates is different. But on a constant speed and with the same exausts, i think it will be very similar. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV
You are correct Victor.
It's all about the compression ratio, and of course there's just no compromises for displacement !
Going to try the 97mm Mikuni's, and shaving a few thousandths off of my cylinder heads.
See what that can accomplish next !
Sempre achei o som dos V2 semelhante com os V8 small block!
Particularmente, o som que eu mais gosto é o dos 2 cilindros em linha (boxer), é o típico som de uma motocicleta, não se parece em nada com o som de um carro. E os monocilíndricos também tem seu charme.
Parabéns pelo vídeo, excelente!
Rodrigo Machado Obrigado Rodrigo pelo comentário, e pelas palavras simpáticas. Abraço.
secret of the best sound...is the soul of your bike...my little ybr 2005 basic version, only 10 years at my side...had a good inside sound from a small engine, combine that with a v2 exaust pro tork, I love what my bike sing to me...
+Jose Marinho Thank you my friend for sharing your thoughts. :) Abraço.
fun video. dig the music too.
the bike that sounds most like a V8 to me is the new R1. i literally thought a stock car was coming up the mountain the first time i heard one. beastly.
yeah thank to the crossplane crankshaft! it's a great sound
Aprilia RSV4 sounds a little similar but much meaner, more raspy
You missed one. To me, the best sound is a V4 with twin exhaust. My particular bike gets compliments when I am in traffic. When I make it how on the road, there is never anyone near enough to issue the compliments. I usually say the only thing better than the sound of a V-twin is two of them.
+Doby Pilgrim Oops. Typo there. Not "how", but "howl". Sounds like a built small block V8.
+Doby Pilgrim I agree with you. The V4 has an amazing sound. Unfortunately, it is very
rare, or almost nonexistent between the Cafe Racer machines. Maybe there is just 1 or 2 VFR bikes. That's why i never mentioned about this engine. But the principles about V engines was explained with the Moto Guzzi engine example. Thanks for sharing your experiance with your bike. Cheers.
+RACER TV Ah yes, I understand. But I assure you my V-Max doesn't sound like a Moto Guzzi, lol. And not much like a VFR at all either.
Another great piece by one of my favorite YT channels. Thank you for putting this together.
Zone Television And another great comment for this video. Thank you for sharing such kind words. Cheers.
os sons mais lindo que meus ouvidos já escultaram é o ronco de um motor !!! obg pelas legendas
I enjoy all the information and how it is crafted into an art form like the cafe racers themselves. Is shot, thank you.
kevin engebretson Thank you for your kind words. Cheers.
One of your best videos yet. I have a couple bikes. One is a 1975 Suzuki GT380. It's a two-stroke triple. You should explore the sweet sound of two-strokes in one of your videos.
80hitultracombo Thanks for your suggestion and for your kind words. I will keep your suggestion on my mind. Cheers.
I was about to say the same, what about 2 stroke engines? I also have a Suzuki T250, 2stroke twin
looking forward for a video :)
Hey ! If you have the chance also talk about the v4 engine i just got a honda vf1100s ... But is not starting yet hehehe i have to restore the engine!
There are a couple of things missing on this video (great videos, by-the-way). Many twins have 180 degree crankshafts, two that I used to own did Honda 350 and 450, whereas the CB175 and 200's had 360 cranks as per British twins. They sound completely different.The whole point of individual pipes is to ensure maximum power, Honda did not go all those years racing multi-cylinder 4 strokes with individual pipes without a damn good reason. Individual pipes weigh a lot more, have more drag and get in the way, the answer is power. Each cylinder has a pipe tuned to give maximum power over the rev range desired.When you join pipes, this seriously interferes with the acoustic supercharging. 3 into 1 exhausts can get away with it but 4 into 1 have serious interference. 2 into 1 on a 180 degree crank engine would be silly, unless it is for style only.Many have 4 into 2, but with 1-3-4-2 firing (the most common), the pipes of cylinders 1 and 4 should be paired, as should 2 and 3, to get even pulses and consistent acoustic lengths.Many so-called café racers have pipes "designed" with absolutely no consideration to the acoustic lengths, some even with straight tubes all the way. The same applies to inlets, where many stick on the K&N style filters. These usually have a very short tube length, way shorter than the factory tube. This is OK if you are going to rev it to the extreme (i.e. take the ratio of the lengths (from inlet valve to end of tube) of stock versus the new and multiply that by the original max power revs eeekk!!! you'll be on the wrong side of the red on the tacho). These are all tuned lengths, for the exhaust the lengths are a lot longer because the higher pressure, hotter gas has a higher speed of sound - the reverse cone shape means that long taper causes a negative pressure at the exhaust valve, helping remove the exhaust gases, then the reverse taper sends a positive pressure wave back into the cylinder just as the exhaust valve shuts - supercharging the cylinder with fresh fuel-air mixture that had snuck out the exhaust valve.Changing the reverse cone has a distinct effect on the sweet spot of the power band (in conjunction with the cam of course).I've never had one but I always love the sound of a triple (except the 180 degree Jota that is).
Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, these matters are too complex to explain in a 5 minutes video. But thank you for your suggestion. Cheers.
Laverda Jota is a great sounding triple. A CX500 - 650 sounds ridiculously fantastic with the right pipes on it. Almost like a Grand Prix car.
love this segment.... I show all my bike buddies...keep up the great work
+Wade Berry Thank you for your support. I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
This video of yours is TIMELESS
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
I love the sound of the v twin of the moto guzzi! Great vid!
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
I could listen to this guy's voice all day. Haha
I'm glad you liked. :) Cheers.
Lol i hope you're being ironic.
Ja a algum tempo que ando a sonhar alto a ver estes videos fantasticos. Nunca pensei que fosse um Portugues a faze-los. parabens meu amigo, continua.
Uma dica para um futuro video era uma cafe racer com base numa dirt bike tipo DT por exemplo. Vi algumas fotos e ha quem consiga fazer milagres
Obrigado amigo pela simpatia e pela sugestão. :) Um abraço.
Que bela sinfonia.
Adoro o som do motor Boxer da BMW, se um dia tiver uma Moto com M grande :), será uma BMW.
Obrigado por mais um belo vídeo.
Zacarias Benta Muito obrigado Zacarias. Será sempre um prazer para mim partilhar este tipo de dicas para todos os entusiastas das Cafe Racers. Abraço.
Fantástico! Que belo vídeo! A música de fundo... nem se fala! Mais uma vez parabéns pelo bom gosto em pensar em cada detalhe de seus vídeos!
***** Muito obrigado Carlos pelas simpáticas palavras. Abraço.
This is the 3rd time I´m watchin´this video!! Can´t get enough of it. I´m a machanic full of passion when it comes to Cafés. But it´s rare, that someone explanes you the system of composition of the engine sound.!! Nice work!! Really nice job!!
But by the way.. can you tell me the Interpret of the music playing in the background? I´d like to have that song tuned on, when I´m riding :-)
Greetings from Germany!! Take care, ride save!!
+Lars Herrmann Thank you. I'm glad you liked. This song is based in this original version: "Freedom - Anthony Hamilton and Elayna Boyton (Karaoke Version)". Cheers.
Excellent video...informative, fun and cool. I have a one, a two, a three and a four cyclinder bike and love them all but the three, as you say...is the most exotic. Thanks for sharing your passion
Scott Christensen Thank you for your kind words. Cheers.
Awesome video... I have just subscribed because I enjoyed it that much
Mais um vídeo ao nível do melhor que se faz pelo mundo, senão mesmo o melhor dentro do género.
BRILHANTE!
Um dica que sai da minha modesta opinião, no caso um COMPLEMENTO a este vídeo que trata da musicalidade:
- um vídeo que fale e mostre o comportamento e o temperamento de cada uma das configurações de motor já mostradas e muito bem explicadas.
Sim, porque temos a música mas a forma como é "entregue" aos ouvidos do piloto é bastante distinta.
Ou seja, para alguns, a melhor música pode não ter a melhor dirigibilidade, etc, etc, etc.
Um tema mais "complicado" mas perfeitamente à altura do autor destes vídeos, não tenho dúvidas.
Dito isto, as minhas FELICITAÇÕES pelo trabalho.
Venha o próximo.
zardportugal Muuuuuuito obrigado pelo elogio. Gostei da sua sugestão, e já tomei nota para um futuro video. Por acaso já tinha pensado em fazer um video sobre o som dos vários tipos de escapes que existem no mercado para as cafe racers. Mas tambem gostei da sua sugestão. É algo para começar a pensar na melhor forma de o demonstrar em video. Mais uma vez, muuito obrigado pelas simpáticas palavras e pela ótima sugestão. Abraço.
Excelente.
Mas a "logística" é mais complicada porque será preciso ter vários escapes para o mesmo modelo, isto para manter a carburação e a admissão, vectores que mudam o som dos motores.
Uma grande idéia, seja como for.
Se a isso houver a possibilidade de uma ida ao banco de ensaio..... ouro sobre azul.
zardportugal Pois. Não é fácil ser o mais realista possivel. Mas penso que dará pelo menos para transmitir a ideia geral da nota sonora dos escapes. Já estive a ver vários videos com escapes iguais aos da minha Honda Cb 125, e mesmo em motas de cilindrada superior(e com 2 cilindros), a nota sonora do escape é practicamente idêntica. Mesmo não sendo tão realista como devería, acho que irá ser muito útil para muitos Cafe Racers. Vamos ver o que consigo fazer. Abraço.
Iguais ao seu tenho 2 na minha mota.
Para 4 cilindros....
zardportugal
Estive a ver o seu video "Honda 750 Sevenfifty - Bezerro", mas parece que são da versão curta. Os meus escapes têm 70 cm de comprimento. A não ser que já tenha comprado outros escapes entretanto?
another excellent video. Really does put life into perspective. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you. :) Cheers.
The Yamaha VStar 650 V twin with Vance And Hines shotgun-shorty dual pipes sounds like a Harley at low rpm and like a Nascar stock car at cruising speed.
Great content as usual, but i couldn't not point out that the funny memes didn't fit the atmosphere of the video, the relaxing meditative atmosphere we are used to.
Great work, very good lesson !!! The videos has been a real school for me !
+Luciano Ribeiro Thank you my friend. I'm glad you liked. Um abraço.
sehr gut gemachtes Video, auf dem man gut die Motorsoundunterschiede hören kannn.
Diversion010203 Danke. Ich bin froh, Ihnen gefallen. Prost.
My inline twin have a 270° crank shaft and it sounds like a V-twin while idleing and up to 4500rpm, after the 5000rpm it becomes a totally different engine sounding like a small sport-bike i use a 2 exhaust configuration, i want to make a 2-1-2 exhaust in the future for better torque..
Thanks heaps. Found that very interesting. Another great video. Thanks from Australia
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Hey, you do a fantastic job with these videos! They are excellent! And the music too! Muchas Gracias! Thank you very much!
HegozZz Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you liked. Saludos.
RACER TV Im planning to make a cafe racer from my Sanglas 400Y: fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t31.0-8/10535588_293819627468116_101491071780546923_o.jpg
HegozZz
I did not know that brand. It seems to be a great base for a cafe racer project. I advise to put in the garage the original parts. Can prove to be very useful in the future. Good luck for your project. Saludos.
another great video racer TV, love your work.
BTW desmo V twin bevel ducati is my favorite engine sound
Slow Boat Thank you for your kind words. About the V twin bevel ducati,it is also one of my favorites. Cheers.
Hi,
I see one of the bikes used in this video was built by me and i stumbled upon this video by chance
James Browning Hi James. I hope you liked. Which one is your bike?
Love the sound of my Vtwin I could listen to it all day
very interesting video and good to know as we have such a wide range of machines out there. however; nothing compares the two cylinder sound to my liking
Indeed. :) Thanks for your comment. Cheers.
Uno dei video che preferisco in assoluto. Fantastico.
Enzo Graniero Grazie per le gentili parole. Salute.
I'm pretty new to bikes and since I was a kid I heard some bikes sound like V8's and always wondered what engine/exhaust setup caused this. I now want a V twin.
Adorei o vídeo e as explicações técnicas acerca dos tempos de ignição 👍 Sempre com conteúdo do melhor... Parabéns
Obrigado amigo pelo simpático comentário. :) Um abraço.
Could you make a video about exhaust types? I'm still thinking wich exhaust i should choose but I lack in mechanical skills and a video like this could help me out so much! Cheers
Thanks for your suggestion. I already thought about that, but is not easy create a video about so many different kinds of exhausts. But i'm going to try it. :) Cheers.
Love racer tv keep up the good work, I put an arrow titanium race can on my Ducati scrambler this week it snorts well
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Awesome video, as always! This made me really think on what kind of bike I want. And what song did you use for this video?
SirSleepy247 Thanks. The song is an instrumental version based in this theme:
Freedom- Anthony Hamilton & Elayna Boynton. Enjoy. Cheers.
My moto guzzi griso with new chip & exhaust from terminoni 2 into one ! Tuned 😃Roar 😘 I love it other bikers comment on the beautiful sound! I love it!
Peter Earl I'm Glad you liked. Cheers.
Mind posting a video? Love to hear the sound, I'm upgrading my LeMans 1000
+Roscoe Skipper I'm not much of tech know guy but I'll try to capture the sound ,WATCH THIS SPACE 👍🏻💨
Thanks for such a thoughtful video. Car videos do a lot more explication of why they love their toys. Nicely done. Do one on exhaust sounds now. Can you start with the type of exhaust on that Guzzi?
+Roscoe Skipper Thank you for sharing your comment. I'm glad you liked. Which Guzzi are you referring to? The white one that passes on the road?
Ok, I love the big singles, high compression inline fours; along w/ 2 cycle inline twins (like the Yamaha's); but it's not the sound I love so much as they way they perform; in their own right, as individuals; yes different, but oh so beautiful of a feeling....when you ride them.
Gostei das comparações. Não tinha notado isso ainda.
Very nice Info / I learn Something new Every time I watch Racer TV
Thanks for sharing peace
Your video never make me boring 👏👏👏
Como siempre.....impecable..!! Muchas gracias por subirlo...
Eduardo Marcelo Gallo Me alegro de te ha gustado. Gracias por tus amables palabras. Saludos.
Norton Manx single 500 takes the cake. C´mon, guys..¿Does this not give you goose bumps?.
yes, but it`s so rare,
I still remember a bitsa Norton, with a long stroke engine, a friend built,
40+ years ago. Went like snotoffastik. Sounded like a machine gun.
It left my T120 for dead! But he WAS nuts. & a mechanical genius.
later, I had the last 450 Ducati desmo, very similar. only smaller lighter & OILTIGHT. It handled SO WELL.it was unbelievable. A Brilliant little toy,
It Ate rear spokes, cl` cables & ign system, passengers hated it, but I loved it.
I then had a Long love affair with the Moto Guzzi 850 LeMans (mk1, mod`d)
which Growls & Howls. Never lost control under braking, Strong, simple fast & surefooted. Quite beautiful, Also is so long running; it was never really improved;
switches,propstand etc.if anyth`they spoiled em. Highly recommended. gvfm.
Muito bom, parabéns! Apaixonei-me por aquela BMW no fim..
Obrigado amigo pelo comentário. :) Um abraço.
Very nice. Thanks for bring us these excelent videos and work. :-)
António Gil Thank you for your kind words. Abraço
Świetny film - jak zwykle. Pozdrowienia z Polski ;-)
PiotrCCS1 Dzięki. Wiedziałem, że chcesz zobaczyć obrazy w Twoim kraju. Pozdrawiam.
Amazing video, makes everything very clear. Parabens
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Um abraço.
Great video...👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Just to add some info, if I may.. Beside the engine configuration, the pattern or rhythm of the engine timing is also greatly influenced by the shape of the crankshaft. For example, Ninja 250 & Benelli TNT 350 & Triumph Bonneville, they all have 2 cylinders in line engine (a.k.a parallel twin), but they all have different engine sound character, which caused by different timing between the first cylinder and the second one, due to their different crankshaft timing.. same thing happens to many bikes which have V twin engine, but somehow have so different engine sound character.. Other example: When Honda built a cruiser bike named VFC750 Magna, they took the engine from their sports bike VFR750 Interceptor (a V4 engine), and they intentionally changed the crankshaft, in order to create a different engine sound which somehow a little bit closer to a V Twin engine.. Well, just a thought... take care & keep up the good job, guys...✌🏽✌🏽👍🏼👍🏼
is this best sounding video on youtube or what :)
dado kroacija Thank you for your kind words. Cheers.
Out of all the café type engines I gotta say the Guzzi's sound the best.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Really like your videos!
greetings from brazil!
Thank you my friend. Um abraço.
This is a well put together show
Thank you. :) Cheers.
O som da Moto guzzi V7 é simplesmente espectacular!
Bernardo Silva Obrigado por partilhar a sua opinião. Abraço.
does anyone could tell me what a motorcycle or engine is at the begining of the video? sounds amazing
EpicSupermoto It is probably the best engine sound in the all video. You really have a good hearing. The bike is a Ducati 750 Bevel. Cheers.
i have to disagree with the use of multiple exhausts in 4 cylinder bikes. i think the opposite, for a 4 cylinder and even better the 6 cylinders using 1 exhaust makes it sound a 100 times better
+george lucas weiss I respect your opinion. After all, everything depends on our personal taste about snores. Cheers.
If you want to hear multiple exhaust relevance, see my comment about the race honda's :-)
george lucas weiss isolating each cylinder is the best way to go. More power and a sharper sound rather then all 4 cylinders blasting out the same hole.
beautiful video !! watching it again and again !! what is the song though ?
Thank you. It is based in this original version: "Freedom by Anthony Hamilton and Elayna Boyton" Cheers.
Very great video, very informative, Always dreamed on having a Guzzi..
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
It would be a fair comparison if all bikes in the video would have the same exhaust.
Silencers can make huge difference in sound, even the pipe length.
If you are "experienced" you can ignore the silencer and focus on the engine sound itself to compare.
Every day I daily my Yamaha Chappy LB80 Auto. Modified... at full throttle' the sound is so child like exciting (boy hood days feeling). Anf the ride is like being on Aladin's magic carpet.
Thank you my friend for sharing your perspective. :) Cheers.
To listen to the ultimate sound of multiple exhausts, check out the classic Honda rc range. Rc116, rc166 etc! The multiple exhausts become relevant!! C.j's wild rides!!
+cj64crosser Yes, its hard loving bikes, and not find the videos. :) I saw them 3 years ago. But thanks for your suggestion. Cheers.
the sound of a thrashed 900 Ducati on the over-run in a tunnel is exquisite.
So too, the Manx Norton, the 450 Desmo & the BSA Gold Star .
Laverda Jotas(120 +180`cranks) made different evocative sounds;
and the 3 cyl Tiumph Daytona etc barking/singing could lead a man astray/
BUT; 1 time; at Brands Hatch I heard a demonstration of the 6 cyl 250 Honda.
A Shrill "Tone" Electrifying; almost unreal; Like nothing else I`ve ever heard.
but the most charismatic of all.the Moto Guzzi V8, luckily recorded on vinyl,
its sound can be found, on TH-cam; sounds of the IoM TT 1956/7, I think.
By Murray Walker`s father Graham.
Just for curiosity, what do you think about the sound of the bike on the following link? th-cam.com/video/0sC83b2RXb4/w-d-xo.html
Which engine configuration was the very first opening scene, from my education received from the video, the V7 perhaps? It was something special, my favourite. Great video, very interesting.
Such a great video, thanks! I’m working on a bmw r65 café racer project. What would you say is a good pick for the exhausts? How do I find one that also makes noise while decelerating? Thanks 👍👍
Thank you. Try to search on youtube for "Peashooter BMW". These exausts are so good, that i use them on my own Honda CX 650 cafe racer. :) Cheers.
Will do! Thanks and keep it up!
Hi the video is great. The bike showing the on board footage starting at about 1 min 10 sec is the bike i built. It's a 1984 cb400n i bought for £300 it was the first cafe i built i sold it to a guy from Bristol area in the summer 2014. I recognize that top yoke anywhere. How did it end up in one of your video's?
James Browning That's interesting. Small world isn't it?Considering this is a informative video about bikes, youtube consider reasonable to use a few seconds of other videos. I included your bike in this video by several reasons.The beauty of the landscape, the good and well finishes of the bike, and the exhaust sound which is the typical cafe racer Twin engine sound.I really try to locate the original video footage from your bike, but i lost the track.Sorry. Thank you for your comment. I'm glad you liked the video. Cheers.
two thumbs up, great channel..
Bsm Racing Thank you. I'm glad you liked. Cheers.
Back before i lived in a police state, i cut the pipes on a 1973 Honda 754cc motorcycle. It sounded awesome.
Jojo Gun Fang Thanks for sharing your story. I'm also thinking on making a video about exhausts. But will take some time to finish it. Cheers.
Inline triple does it for me. Although the sound of a v-twin is intoxicating.. I still prefer the rumble of an unrestricted triple.
Fuji Wags I understand your point. The ideal should be having both engines. Lol. Thanks for sharing your comment. Cheers.
Great video, very informative, luckily I have a nice Ducati V twin :)
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
