The 4 cylinders are significantly faster, but as said, only when you thrash the fuck out of them. My VT250 Spada would hold an MC22 on any but the straightest roads, easily and was faster out of the corners, easier to ride, souned better and was heaps cheaper to run.

Agree with duclover and gray wolf here.

I had a gsx400 impulse when they came out and my bro had a vt250.
I was amazed one day when i took his 250 for a spin on a piece of road a regularly traveled by the torque of the thing coming out of corner uphill in top it would eat my 400 unless i chopped down gears.
when wew traveled together if we pulled out to pass at around 95-100kms i would have to chop 2 gears to get the revs up but he just rolled on the throttle.
The v twinn is a much more forgiving motor and doesnt need to be thrashed to go tike a cut cat.
