Why do V6's sound so lame?

[tyoneal]

Hello:

Can someone explain why a V8 sounds great, and a V6 sounds like crap, seems like the rule says less Cylinders you have the poorer the sound is to listen to.

This said, you have a Harley V2 and they Sound Great.

(I know the V10's and V12's sound great, but they give off a completely different type of cool sound)

Is this a function of the Cylinder Head Shape, size and the shape of the valves, configuration of the exhaust etc.?

Since obviously the Harley's sound great, why can't the V6's be made to sound better? I'm guessing the Harley's have sub-par or outdated technology.

Why don't the designers of V6's use some of the same technology as the V10's and the V12's so they don't sound so lame in a sporty car?

What's the honest poop?

Thanks,

Ty O'Neal
