I’ve listened to this a few times. I’m well into my 70’s and this video reminds me of an old favorite vinyl record.. one that you just keep putting on the “Victrola” every so often.
Listening to them all is musical 🎵 but nothing like hearing them roll through a canyon going through the gears. I will say that Milwaukee motor sounds great 👍🏻 Harley Davidson for ever! ~FTW~
They all sound cool with drags pipes on. But the Shovel sounds the coolest, especially when you set the idle real low. potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato.
Radial engines...yeah, pretty much are the same type...2-3 or more cylinders using a common crankpin. Radials always had odd number of cylinders, if you study the ignition timing you'll see why.
Absolutely agree, it was the pinnacle of sound and beauty. I dream of the Knuckle engine developed by Flathead Power in Sweden. S&S bough it up and sells it as theirs now. They squeezed 160 naturally aspirated horses out of one of those for test/racing. 😁
I'm surprised you could get a new Ironhead as late as 1985. They sound great. I think I like the Shovelhead best. The AMF years weren't as bad as people say.
Wtf are you talking about ? They leaked oil & ran like dog shit from the bowling ball factory. Oh theres your problem, what does a bowling ball company know about engines or motorcycles. Not god dam thing !!!
The only real problem I had with my ironhead was the horrendously awful AMF generator. It would randomly go out of phase and stop charging. But when she was in the mood to run..... damn she could get up and go
If it wasn’t for AMF Harley would’ve died..and the buyback by the gang of 13 of Harley Davidson on 16 June 81 ended another era, then Harley later released an AMF designed EVO so all said and done AMF saved HD
With the stator on my 2020 softail standard going out at 3k miles, id definitely agree with your statement, and me coming from Honda motorcycles. Saying that, warranty is covering it, and even though i put close to 12K no problem miles other than oil changes, and a chain on my 2017 Honda rebel, Harley motorcycles are incredible. Cant wait for my warranty to finish so i can finally wrench on her.
@@thedakotahurley I mean I do enjoy a good engine rumble like some of these have, but if all the company is really known for anymore is a high price and a loud engine then I think I'll look elsewhere. Also some of their bikes can weigh upwards of 1200lbs or more and that's just too much. I was walking to work a couple years ago and some guy was coming out of an alleyway on his big new Harley bike and dropped it right before the actual street. I asked if he needed help, yes of course. I asked how much the bike weighed when the two of us failed to lift it, he responds with a hearty "oh about a thousand pounds." I asked why he didn't get a lighter bike instead and he comes back with this gem; "all my life Harley's were known as the best cruiser bike you could own." After which I informed him that Suzuki made a cruiser bike that's equally well built, can be made to sound equally as loud, is less than half the price, and ten times as reliable after 10 years on average than anything Harley makes. He thanked me and went on his way. A month later I see him again on a brand new Suzuki, he waves me down and ecstatically tells me about how light his new bike is at a mere 600lbs! With 20 more horsepower than his old bike at too while also being a lower displacement. Harley bikes are like Gucci bags and Beats headphones; they cost a lot, they make you look cool, but in a practical sense there is absolutely no reason to buy that piece of trash.
How do you bury an M8 ? WITH A SHOVEL By far the most value visceral riding experience That distinctive lope at idle, the solid mounted tooth jarring hit of each slug, the savage roar coming off the line, and that WWII warplane sound at full song on the highway. Hell, even the smell of leaking oil on hot headers and the S&S super carb. I have owned a few bikes but nothing compares to the feeling of that’71 FLH punched out to 84”.
Evo's for ever 800 years from now there'll be an Evo still running somewhere on earth best Harley motor ever made they should of kept that motor in production its perfection . I'm still riding one from the 1990s never misses a beat .
Shovel head on generator lower cases. Healthier sound than later shovels because of the generator whine. Just seem to work. Always loved the 1200s. Just personal preference.
They idle just fine! If you had an instrument that you loved the sound of wouldn't you play it as often as you could. For me the sound of an American V-twin is beautiful and I play it as loud and often as I can.
Every single engine they showed sounded fantastic.
...and they all sounded like this: *_VROOM! VROOM! drip BLAT! POP! GUDDA GUDDA GUDDA drip VROOM! BLORT! BLAT! drip VROOOM! VROOM! POP! BLAT!! drip BLORT VROOM! GUDDA GUDDA GUDDA GUDDA drip VROOM!

Yes ,newer twincam ,milwauke & vroud engine sounds bit different.
Piece of crap engine sound
Except for the Revolution
@@claritoresdiano1021 .. says the Honda rider...
they are not engine sounds, they are heartbeats! ❤️🔥
👍👍
Epic
Crap, this is cringe.
Junk beats
@@crad5476 says the Honda rider….
02:16... Shovelhead's playing the pirates of the caribbean theme 🤔
I agree
Nah sounds like a horse walking
Hahaha
Yep
Also playing a slower version of the first few bars of the drum intro to VH's Hot For Teacher.
Believe it or not, I think I have watched that video 500 times, it’s a symphony to my ears !
That rodeo is wrong
I'm not far away, believe me, brother, I love Harley Davidson and I don't have one yet, I'll give it to you and make videos like this
I like the Shovelhead, It sounds badass and similar like a horse steps.
ditto
It’s the damn pirates of the Caribbean rheme
At idle I thought. "RAWHIIIIDE"
My father has a superglide (1973) And it can reach up to 110 decibels!
Gimme a shovelhead until I'm dead.
I was surprised to hear how the 1903 engines definitely had that HD sound even way back then.
Any engine that runs like ass sounds like harley.
Che Guevara then why the Fuck are you watching the video?
@@tunerimpala5658 to be a bitch
Why??
@@robertedwardlee8227 that means your loose lips also match the same sound, both pair of them.🖕
Flathead 1929 , Iron head 1957, Shovelhead 1966, Evolution 1984, these engines are like Philharmonic orchestra to my ears
I’ve listened to this a few times. I’m well into my 70’s and this video reminds me of an old favorite vinyl record.. one that you just keep putting on the “Victrola” every so often.
I have to rewatch this every few months.
Me too. Like my 8th time today haha
every few months?? I have to watch this at least once a day
Feel ya' bro!
I own a Shovelhead 73 that sound is pure bliss. 😎
@Sir14782 $10k and you can get an S&S Shovelhead engine
Dear Sir,
THANK YOU!!! This was awesome hearing the different engines. Please ride safe. Stay safe and healthy.
Yes thank you for making this video.
There is no more beautiful sound than the unique loping, speedbag rumble of a Harley motor!
2:31 "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle."
You forgot to say please 😊
Auhh!!! Terminatorr ❤️

They all sound cool with drags pipes on. But the Shovel sounds the coolest, especially when you set the idle real low. potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato.
aint nothing sweeter than the sound of a knuck.
Amen to that brother!
Amazing
Love the sound of a Harley
They all sound soooo sweet. Proud to be a Harley rider.
1:07 The Knucklehead sounds the best. I know its all about exhaust shape but this one sounds the best
This is music! Galloping🤟
Evo 1340cc best engine ever!
R. I. P HARLEY DAVIDSON 1903 - 2004
CARBURATION FOR EVER💪
Justice for All just bought me one
Carburetor is the way to go, You can tune them with basic tools. No special scan computer bullshit you have to hookup.
Yeah, my 91 Evo is superior to my 103 twin cam reliability wise ((
I intentionally bought an older bike ('05 Sporty) because it had a carburetor.
It sounds like old radial engines from bi-planes from WW I...And this shaking of pictures is exact...
Radial engines...yeah, pretty much are the same type...2-3 or more cylinders using a common crankpin. Radials always had odd number of cylinders, if you study the ignition timing you'll see why.
@@dougankrum3328 I know it ,but thanks!!
Just the sound of an ideling Harley V twin engine is beautiful...something so unique about it....❤
Evo #1 sound for me!!! 👌🏻😎
Lovin' the Knuckle all over again. That really brings back the memories...Nothing sounds Better!!!!
Absolutely agree, it was the pinnacle of sound and beauty.
I dream of the Knuckle engine developed by Flathead Power in Sweden. S&S bough it up and sells it as theirs now.
They squeezed 160 naturally aspirated horses out of one of those for test/racing. 😁
Shovelhead and Knocklehead.I Love It.
shovelhead & evolution
Mill walk kee
Love the evo engine, the best engine Harley ever made
My ‘98 Softail Springer and I agree with you.
Evolutivo - Theo besta sound
Pan and Evo Sporty have always been my favorite sounding engines.
Best video! Our 3 months old son needs this engine sounds to calm down and fall in sleep; he is a real fan. It works always.
The Evolution sounds like a heartbeat
the only bike manufacturer on planet earth that just it sound turns heads. no other bike manufacturer can or ever will accomplish!
Escucho este sonido y solo cierro mis ojos para soñar en el dia que pueda estar sentado en una Harley-Davidson.
The knucklehead was legendary for it’s time
Yeah, I've got a 46, they were the first production motor with overhead valves.
for some reason, i’m in love with the flatheads.. especially the 80 inch ones..
I agree, I used to have a WLA, and the only thing that sound better than a Flathead is the Knucklehead.
my favorite is the evo engine with it's sound and motorcycle models. 90' years is the most mad period with it's style.
All that low idle shit just beats those old engines to death
That 1903 F head I love the way that sounds that engine has the same sound as my 1947 Whizzer Model H 138cc Flathead side-valve engine.
One of the GREATEST videos on TH-cam! Dope idea 👏🏽
Twin cam is my favorite
Harley Davidson for life
103 Twin Cam is rock solid and has a reputation for sounding great.
I'm surprised you could get a new Ironhead as late as 1985. They sound great. I think I like the Shovelhead best. The AMF years weren't as bad as people say.
Had an '82 Sportster. Was fun to ride but slow and the generator was a PITA.

Gotta love the Shovel Head Gallop. Sure do miss mine.
Better than any music
Best tunes ive heard all day
Evolution is the last one with proper sound 🤤
Simple visuals and crisp audio, thanks for the upload.
Sounds of EXCELLENCE SHOVELHEAD HITS HARD LIKE THAT SOUND
They are sounds of hearts and pure freedom ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Never owned a Harley and don’t plan too but they sure do sound amazing!
Dont plan too? What a jackass

Not
@@olebilly they are grbage lol
@@recipoldinasty which one did you own?
The 57-85 Ironhead... didn't even have to see it to know that was my bike!! What a beautiful rumble!
Evolution 1984-1999. Best sound and best Motor.......👍👍👍 I love that Sound.......😎
I love Harley Sound !
Hands down, the coolest Harley ever
evolution sound is the best !!
The panhead was made in the first year of the Ford F-Series too
Just picked up a Harley softtail standard, 20', Harley did it right, have to get slip on's..still sounds great, even stock..has the Milwaukee eight..
Nicely done on the updated version 👍👍👍👍👍
EVOLUTION 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I like the original Pan Head. That sounds awesome.
The engine sounds are genuine music to my ears
Siempre será un manjar para mis oídos, independiente de la época que sea.
Every one has his favorite . For me , it' s the " SHOVELHEAD" , it represents a whole period ( the 80 e) . More than a machine ....
I quite like the early Evolution engines, they sound almost bubbly lol
The Shovelhead won this whole contest.
@@duskshadowpaws4434 bwoop bwoop bwoop
shovel for the most
Yeah it represents bankruptcy & AMF the bowling company. SELL OUT BITCHES !!!! Nothing to be proud of son..
Ahhhhh the sound of everything almost vibrating apart. Nothing like it. It's intimate
Love harley sound always😎
so musical to me. i listen to them and relax. i love all hd engine. thank you for this very special video.
I listen to this before sleeping.... and i have nice dream...
they all sound great in their own way
Listen to the shovel head 1966-1984 it sounds like the Pirates of the Caribbean theme
Never heard a 66 era Pan Shovel...it sounds great ... thanks for a really cool video
I have a stroked big cammed ironhead, still has that distinctive sound.
I like how they bounce
my dad just bought a Herritage softail with an evo block haha
I've never heard them all back to back. Cool video! I liked them all except the M8. Shovelhead was the best imo.
Without a doubt my favorite commercial of all time!!!!
I like to play this on my portable speaker when riding the city bikes in DC. I get the best responses and reactions from everyone 😂
Awesome sounds.. thank you Mr. Harley n Mr. Davidson. for leaving us these beautiful machine's.
I've heard a lot of Harley's over the years and you can thank cobra or Vance and Hines pipes for most of these sounds
The celestial sound .
Wow you can hear the horses galloping from the horsepower lol I love these engines. I love HD!!!
Those are beautiful noises. 👂
Aaaaah Briggs&Stratton 💖
EVO 2:32 ❤️
Love my old 68 ironhead!
Knuckle head and shovel head for me but panny ,evolution sounds good I'll simplify it THEY ALL SOUND AWSOME😂
The knucklehead sounds healthy when you take care of it
The Knucklehead, buddy!
Don't know how else to describe it, but a lot of them sound like they're blowing bubbles.
They kinda are!

punched out to 84”.
I like the sound of the Milwaukee-Eight and the Panhead. I wonder if all these bikes carbs are properly tuned.
Love them all but evo's have the best sound
Nah...the Knuckle. Evo's the only thing beat it.
@Car&Track7 that's what I got love it
Evo's for ever 800 years from now there'll be an Evo still running somewhere on earth best Harley motor ever made they should of kept that motor in production its perfection . I'm still riding one from the 1990s never misses a beat .

Really amazing sounds
They all sound great, easy to see why so many are loyal to certain years, models.
1:53 The pan shovel sounds the best
Shovel head on generator lower cases. Healthier sound than later shovels because of the generator whine. Just seem to work. Always loved the 1200s. Just personal preference.

Wait a minute. A Harley Davidson can *idle* ? I've never heard one not being revved up every 3 seconds.
Bs
They idle just fine! If you had an instrument that you loved the sound of wouldn't you play it as often as you could. For me the sound of an American V-twin is beautiful and I play it as loud and often as I can.

You know that sound, that thumping sound? Sounds like music. 😁
Knucklehead and Ironhead🧡🖤
