Do they like girls, or want to be them?
AFAIK Autos pump fluid at all times when running. It's towing with the engine off that can cause problems on some.
I can only assume this is done for some fuel efficiency or emissions compliance reasons. Manual rev freely in neutral while almost all autos rev slow and only about half way to redline in neutral.
Thats funny back in the day I was in my 67 Ranchero that had dual fours sticking thru the hood. I'm sitting at a light and two young kids pulled up beside on sum japanese bike He started revving his bike to real high rpm trying to impress me. Then just as I was looking at him in the eyes. Then the best part his clutch cable broke and launched his bike into the back of an old VW Rabbit. The driver went thru it's back window over the bars and his buddy on the back went right over the top of the car. Still to this days that's one of the funnest things I have ever seen. So reving to show off can be dumb and sometimes dangerous.I'm guessing this rev bombing is youthful exuberance?
One of my pet hates with modern bikers is rev bombing instead of using the horn.
Sure, it's much safer to pull in the clutch, rev the nuts off the bike, and hoping you don't have to brake and swerve suddenly, than press a horn button.

The concern is the fluid flow within the transmission in neutral. Is it going where it's needed? Hopefully, someone knowledgeable about the subject can interject.
as long as the vehicle is running, transmission fluid is being pumped through the transmission. the only time the fluid is purposely not running to a certain place is when a clutch pack is not meant to be applied. in fact, the same clutch packs are applied in both neutral and park, just park also has the parking pawl brought into play. so if its safe to rev in park, its safe to rev in neutral
Bikers on Harleys? Ever hear a Harley horn? I could raspberry louder. Those horns belong on bicycles.I'm guessing this rev bombing is youthful exuberance?

Yep, I worked at a Harley shop. All bike horns are like mouse farts, uless you fit an air horn like I did.
I had no idea you worked in one. Was going to mention the double trumpet horn with a little air compressor. My dad wanted one and put it off. By the time he was going to purchase it the catalog no longer had it. So he used one from a later model. Not much louder. He gave me the bike. Dang thing runs like a charm. Horn still junk. When people make fun just say it's nostalgic.
