I guess the wonderfully melodic sound of the RT just wasn't good enough for their taste.

I couldn't help but think...


They deliberately crashed a perfectly good RT(P) to make that scene ...... ?

Yeah, they had to use a four cylinder exhaust. Hmph.

And they took the Roundel off. Has some sort of wave design instead. Blasphemy!

At least they didn't dub in the sounds of Harleys or Triumphs like Hollywood used to do in the 70s and 80s. I recall more than a few movies where a 2-stroke Jap bike just happened to sound just like a 70s vintage Triumph.

But those RTPs did not sound like any Hexhead I have ever heard.

Funny, Octopussy was on TV last night and had a couple of police Airheads chasing Bond to the airbase. But at least they didn't crash those...
