I personally have only ridden singles and vtwins. But there seem to be camps for inline 4s and Vtwins.
Just wondering why do people have a preference is there any reason or is it just that vtwins sounds so sexy?

Inline 4s can sound nice too and they generally make more power?
I prefer straight 4s as they tend to be smoother than twins and they usually rev harder. The fact that they don't sound similar to a Harley is another bonus.
Each to their own though, and twins do have some advantages over straight 4s.
Ride a few of each and then make a decision as to what YOU prefer.
I fell in love with my Daytona Triple, on full song it sounds like a 500cc 2 smoke screamer engine![]()
I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....
I was wondering how V4's compare to IL4's of the same capacity, power wise.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

You only have to hear a Ducati to know why people like V-2's...
Having said that, there is also something about the hysterical banshee scream of an IL4 600 hitting 16,000rpm that beguiles the mind. Quite apart from the turbine-like power delivery that just seems to get bigger and bigger the further up the revs go...
Not that I'd ever do anything silly like that meself of course...![]()
Now that I'm older, I thought it was great that I seemed to have more patience. Turns out I just don't give a shit...

CBR 400RR (NC29) - 59HP
VFR 400 (NC30) - 59HP
Both claimed from the Honda.
Apparently the VFR has better low end and mid range.
I love the sound of my v4, part of the reason I bought the vf.![]()
If you dont think everyday is a good day, just try missing one.

Had a parallel twin, couple of inline 4s, then a vtwin and now a horizontally opposed twin.
Engine configuration is a long way down the list for me, with a bunch of other factors more important to me.

Surprisingly, when people talk about v-twins in this context, they're not talking about Harleys.

Why do some pistons go up and down when your wheels go round and round?
