Nah look at the pics it is a V formation. it is therefor a V.
Same as a YZR500, RGV500 and Cagiva etc the only common 4 cylinder single crank engines were swissauto and Honda plus Patton.

Boy this is getting tedious fast.
Lets just agree to disagree. Even the Japs weren't that pedantic.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Yeah that design has always been a problem. Technically it's neither as a V would have an angled block and the pistons would move at the same angle away from each other and if it were a true square it would have 2 cranks with conrods attached meeting a central geared drive (i.e. conrods would be horizontal and parallel).
So V conrods in a square block is neither.

I don't think the design is a problem at all. While they were legal people raced them, other people tried to make them faster, where's the problem? (rivet counters arguing on the internet 40+ years later aside, as indeed they should be).

“- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
Its just fukn cool, lets leave it at that. And Ironically the only bike in this thread eligible from a capacity point of view as a bucket. however if it was never raced, does that make it non-competition?
Argh, now you have me doing it Stoppit.

I rarely agree with Dave, but yes lets stop the arguing, who gives a Rats buttocks.
Other than i posted the Rc "what ever" 125/5 somewhere plus i think a few CR93 and probably a CR110 or two but they all are completion bikes.
The 50/3 is cool of course i have a write up on Bazza's Twin he re restored i will post when i can be arsed.
RE the YAM V4 A mad (Dutchy i think Blower) or something has made a reproduction one reasonably recently.
Anyway if i was going to be pedantic the Yam example posted as an example of a V4 above..... er has two cranks.LOL
Oh the irony
IF you click on the arrow the Classic racer write up is in the original post....
it's just a bloody triple...and it may not have started an FIM GP but I'm pretty sure Suzuki sent it to the US where Ron Grant raced it - probably as a promotional thing. Source - old Cycle mags quoting Ron riding the 50 triple which went off song when a cloud crossed the sun...
Just to wind up the pedants...a flat twin ala BMW is a 180 degree Vee, and a parallel twin ala Triumph, BSA is a 360 degree Vee...they are of course the extremes of the type.
Carry on...

RGB500. Someone please buy it and bring it to NZ...
only 3,130,000 yen (31k NZD)
shocking translation:
I think as not feel missing parts you see on RGB500-Ⅱ type cranking OK.
Radiator water, brake OIL etc. are not included.
It is the person who would like to be able to examine it check the current car is basically a condition delivery no claim in any case.
and while I'm at it...
one of my fav youtube clips (outside on the GPR crash test).
Hugh Anderson gets quite a mention.
cool, nice find... my MT125 replica was built in 77 in the back yard of a chch house, as no one here could aford the real thing this replica was modeled on the MT I think it wears Yamaha cloths, the engine was the CR125 elsanor, it won many a nz nat meetings... now the frame has been butchered and a hot MB100 engine sits on board.
ohh yeah the forks are now GT125 and the swing arm is a choped 125T, so fark all MT left.
cheers DD
