The Best Guzzi Sound Clip On Youtube
« on: June 18, 2018, 03:01:59 PM »
I don't know if this has surfaced before.  If it has, my apologies, but if not, spool this one up! 

Do yourself a favor and play it on your computer instead of your Iphone (unless you have earbuds), turn the volume up a bit and wait for 35 seconds into the video.  You will hear a 1000SP with Lafranconis making the most glorious sound!!

Sounds pretty good, all right!   I like hearing it from the pilot's seat best, but this is OK too!

They do have a soulful sound...basso profundo. 2vpc Big-Blocks are the business.

My old race bike, 992cc 1974 850-T with all the go fast stuff and a home made 2:1 reverse megaphone pipe

crummy video, great audio
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ig8Z73ONuBM

this one isn't bad, this is what 140 MPH on a Guzzi sounds like

If you paid attention you noticed I only used 4 gears. I used a convert (read very tall) rear end, and 4th was exactly where I wanted my top gear.

Even though I had hot cams, porting etc, that motor was set up as a torque monster for road racing. It topped out at ~7950 RPM in top gear (would easily pull higher in lower gears). To get the most out of that motor for land speed racing, I should have retarded the cam about 2 or 4 degrees, or frankly as much as I could before things began to smack inside the combustion chamber. No doubt an LSR specific cam would be even better. The way I determined my max RPM? Since the Tach is only so good, and I'm not looking at it anyway, I pulled the audio from the videos and did a spectral analysis on it, revealing revs per second. Easily converted to RPM...

All the people who debate “wither MG” all the time just need to see this video.

That's the way my Calvin sounded after I installed the minstrel H pipe. I wish my 1400 tourer sounded the same!
