My vote goes to oil cooled GSXR1100's with full race yoshi 4-1 pipes, or perhaps Z1000/GPZ1100 (circa 1980-81) with the classic harris 4-1 or vance and hines megaphone system, 1260 big bore, quickshifters etc etc.
Drag strips all through the late '80s and early '90s were filled with these glorious sounds.

The drag racing 2,600cc V Twins are pretty serious sounding.

Pistons that big, running on nitro-methane, are always going to be radical and loud!
