Best Bike to ride before a good listening session

I've loved every bike I've ever had ... from 1971 through 2008 ... Japanese to American to Japanese, from carb to EFI to a V-4 carb ... and, as always, the bike I have right now is the best! I don't ride before doing music, though, as the bike provides a music I'd take any and every day ... over my audio system ... but ONLY if I have to make such a decision. As it stands, I get both worlds ... and I'm happy!
Something newer, fuel injected, four stroke, ohlins suspended, well rubbered, lightweight, nimble, and on a well maintained racetrack with no-one who "thinks" they are fast within 50 miles. The absolute exhaustion from this, at my age, puts me in the perfect frame of mind and body for music. The rhythm that you (hopefully) achieve can be the perfect set-up for a relaxing night in the dark with my vinyl...
I have not owned a bike in many years but I would think no bike ride would be good before any listening session.
When I drive my car or van with the windows down I wait 1 to 2 hour before a good listening session. Your ears must relax from the presure and excess noise of riding for you to hear correctly.
IMHO
Any bike I am riding at the time is the best. There is no bad ride. My riding goes about 2/3-1/3 road to mountain and both are great fun. Like audio, I sometimes think folks (me included) get too wrapped up in the gear and forget that the fun is in the ride (or in listening).

Quanmer, thanks for the link to pictures of your bike, which is phenominal! I would love to try out something like that. I see the stays and fork are carbon fiber. How does the frame feel and respond compared to other more common materials like carbon or titanium? Is the cherry expected to hold up over the long haul, or is this more of a showpiece? I assume the tubes are hollow? I could not tell for sure from the pictures whether they were laminated, but they do not appear to be. I have a couple of pool cues with the shafts made from longitudinally laminated strips of maple, which significantly adds to the stiffness.
