Bike sounds you hate.....

[bevvo]

The noise of a fucked sprag clutch when you prod the starter...

Triumph owner?

Nope. KTM LC4 and Aprillia Tuono.

[demographic]

50cc scooters with the CVT/variator.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh.

And damn nearly everything with open pipes that the owner inflicts on the general population.

Oh and theres a few Ducatis that sound a bit 1970s Honda Twin to me as well, I don't hate them but they're not always a good sound. Some sound great, some not so great.

My Husky is leccy start.

Mine was when it wanted to start, sold the bugger a couple of weeks ago. Being stuck halfway up a climb and the starter not doing its intended job so having to try to kick start it with my corgi legs was crap.

A few pals here had same with early KTMs. Now we all have KTM/Huskies less than 3 year old and no problems.

The rattling of a Ducati dry clutch alongside you at traffic lights.

Mine was when BMW owned Husqvarna and they were made in Italy, commonly referred to the "red head" TXC310, good bike but a known problem with the electric start, when it wouldn't turn over on the starter I had to give it a couple of kicks then the starter would work, bit annoying.

[The Spin Doctor]

17 year old scrotes on 125s with beancans used to be the worst. I heard one that trumps even that the other day though, a 4 stroke scooter on a beancan. CVT gearing means the revs rise/fall very little and its just a fucking stupid drone. I've heard more sonorous tumble driers.

Come to London... it's all you hear as your neighbour gets his delivery of cardboard pizza in a cardboard box. Bloody annoying at 1am.

[The Spin Doctor]

Thud followed by engine hitting the rev limiter which means yet another blind and speeding biker has failed to notice the car emerging from the junction across the road

Corrected for you.

I wasn't entirely surprised to discover that most riders killed in junction collisions were over the limit, and most by some way.

The click of the solenoid and nothing else .
