I must be from a different and older generation. If I were to listen to music while riding, which I don't, here's one of mine......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlI36K0KOQs
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.
Lots of 70's stuff ... Jethro Tull, Janis Joplin, Stones, Led Zep, Guns'n'Roses.... in the absence of loud pipes, loud music shall suffice!!
You can't get there from here....

My MP3 has stuff from Kid Rock, Led Zeppelin, Kongos, Johnny Cash, Metallica, Roy Clark, Saliva, KC and the Sunshine Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ohio Players, Simple Minds, AC/DC, Collective Soul, Beat Farmers, Rob Zombie, Guess Who, Devo, GRiZ, Prince, Marilyn Manson, Queen, and about seventy other artists spanning the '60s to today. If it makes me want to tap my toe, bop my head, or twist my wrist, it's all good...
Got tired of changing CD's about 5 years ago at Christmas for background music, so finally dove into the deep end and built a music storage and playback computer.Small form Dell, 1TB drive, dB Poweramp rip and conversion software and JRiver for playback.
Love jazz and blues, grew up on Rush, KISS, Van Halen, etc. so have a lot of rock. Elvis, Grass Roots, Johnny Mathis 60's and 70's stuff. Classical, Bach, Beethoven. A couple thousand country songs. And about 8 hours of Christmas classics. A little over 11,000 songs and growing.
All in lossless FLAC, I convert to Apple Lossless to load on the iPhone and playback in my helmet on the Spyder.
I still have a German Dual turntable, but don't spin vinyl often. I got really lazy controlling the music from a tablet.
Home system is a 70's Kenwood, completely gone over, recapped and noisy transistors replaced. Klipsch loudspeakers. And a Maverick Audio tube DAC with an NOS Tesla tube from Czech Republic, and Dexa discrete op-amps. Sennheiser headphones. Sounds like a lot of equipment, but it's just a hobby for me. Audiophiles use me to laugh at. But I can play at concert volumes, and the Klipsch move enough air to lift the pictures hanging on the wall off the nails. If I crank it to 10 the sun dims.
I dunno bout all this stuff?!? The only 'music' I listen to while ryding is the one that I adjust the volume on by how far/hard I twist my right wrist!!
And when I'm out cruising, I listen to the Song of the Road, the tires on the bitumen, the engine purring along, and everything else going on around me as we cruise on by! And of course, the dulcet sounds of my Missus' saying 'Do we hafta stop yet?!' Best music EVER!!
Being the non-conformist my playlist consists of older country (Alabama, Sawyer Brown, Shenandoah, BlackHawk...), Canadian Country (Paul Brandt, High Valley, Dallas Smith,...) and some Contemporary Christian. I like to be able to understand the words, but that’s just me.
Trent - 2017 asphalt grey RT Limited,
Ultimate Seat, Baha Ron’s sway bar, Vredestine rear tire, Federal Formoza fronts, SlingMod’s LED head and fog lights, Lamonster’s highway pegs
This song is more applicable when I'm on two-wheels.
IMO, riding our Spyder is more sedate and lackadaisical, and not as dangerous. That said, I'm more inclined to listen to songs such as Allman Brother's "Midnight Rider" or Bob Seger's "Turn The Page".
And my Two Brothers Racing exhaust, LOL.
YMMV....

Interesting...I think I'll at least check into adding a Tangerine Dream playlist...I've listened to them in the past.
I'm mostly into classic rock/60's/70's, so have Pandora stations set up for Stones, Who, Zeppelin, CCR (and all their contemporaries) in main rotation...but also stuff like Talking Heads, Clash, Ramones , B-52's, Bowie for those 'up-tempo' rydes Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead also, but less frequently...not 'ryding' music for me.
This is all thru the Sena when ryding solo...2-up I'm generally on intercom with the missus.

70s Kenwood, wouldn't be a KR9600 would it. LOTS OF POWER!

I listen to anything from the 50's, 60's, and some 70's. Also country-the older stuff and big band. As long as I don't have to hear the ringing in my ears I'm happy.

Seems no mater what I listen to, I still hear the ringing. Just have to ignore it as best I can.

DASH LOOKS COOL is it an aftermarket? its says painted did you paint it?
Jay D.
Sorry off topic.
Yes it is an aftermarket dashboard.
No I did not paint it.
The dashboard is my 2nd one. The OEM dashboard was painted by ( mike- Blueknight911) after I bought my current spyder.
Back on topic, I listen to some 70's, 80's music.
