I'd love to know how they could prove the difference between an (allegedly) "designed" 4-stroke engine sound and one that sounds similar purely because it has a particular cylinder layout, uses no supposedly sound-altering devices, and, say, straight pipes.
Rather strange how some other motors have a distinctive engine sound without any extra effort being made to enter a "sound boutique" competition.
Still, I suppose Harley had to find something radical and important to develop on their power plants .......
