A bike's exhaust note can matter as much as its power figures. A good sound makes every ride feel special. India now has everything from charming single-cylinder thumpers to screaming superbikes, so here are the best-sounding motorcycles you can buy.
1. Jawa (Jawa 350, Jawa Perak and Jawa 42 FJ)
Jawa comes first because it has a sound all its own. The current lineup is built on a 334cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine, and each model is tuned differently.
Jawa 350: It is the flagship of the classic range and comes with a distinct dual-exhaust note.
Jawa Perak: This factory-custom bobber makes 30.2 bhp and uses a dual silencer setup. One owner says its exhaust sounds different from the Classic 350's and calls it special.
Jawa 42 FJ: It is a sportier neo-classic roadster that makes 29.1 PS, and it sounds livelier than the others.
The Jawa 350 and Perak both sit at roughly Rs 2.2 lakh (ex-showroom), which makes Jawa one of the most affordable ways to get a distinctive exhaust note. Explore our full range of Jawa bikes to compare models.
2. Royal Enfield Classic 350
The Classic 350's 349cc air-cooled engine produces what may be the most recognisable exhaust note in India, a deep and rhythmic thump. It works equally well in city traffic and on the open highway.
3. Aprilia RS 457
Its 457cc parallel-twin has a raspy, aggressive character that gets more exciting as the revs climb. It is priced at around Rs 4.35 lakh (ex-Delhi) and sounds more expensive than it is.
4. Indian Scout
The Scout's 1250cc V-twin delivers a deep, chest-thumping rumble that becomes a proper roar when you open the throttle. It is a great option if you want a classic V-twin sound.
5. Triumph Street Triple 765 RS
The 765cc inline-triple is raspy at low revs and turns into a shriek towards the redline. It suits riders who want something different from the usual twin or four.
