    Haven't ridden a V-Twin. Some day...

    What about singles? Some of the big bore motards are awesome. The EC400 I rode was great

    I will only ride someones 250 if it's an inline 4. Mine is an inline 4.

    When bikes get bigger I like either motor.My favourite Vs that I have ridden are the VTR1000. and VFR800 (they are V4)

    My favourite model of motorbike is the FZR genesis, which is inline 4.

    I've owned a triple,dozen or so inline 4's and two V's both TL's and enjoyed them all for their own characteristics.
    BUT I have got to say that the big V twin is more my cuppa these days. Tonnes of grunt from down low so no need to be changing gears all the time and it(TL) has more than a reasonable top end too.
    The massive roar from my Yoshi's as I peel up a city street setting of the poxy cars alarms is an awesome posing rush I have to admit too.
    But have got to say that I haven't tried a Busa or any other the other late model top CC 4's though. Would be an interesting comparasion to make(torque wise,etc).
    Until then though...

    Many miles on both and would take a 4 any day, smoother and more powerfull and without excessive engine braking

    Slashwylde told me the other day that the sound of my bike made his nuts rattle as I passed him.

    That aught to tell you what my preferance for engines is.

    I think it comes down to the bike you own at the time .
    I currently perffer L twinns. Have riden inlines and para's.
    Like that Ducati high reving v8 sound and the lazy style of riding of only needing a couple of gears using the full rev range. Massive engine braking too , don't require the use of brakes much.
    mind you NC30's are the cool sounding bike , V4

    Well, I like the plod-ability of the NZ-250's single around town, pull from as low as 3000rpm, the VTR-250's V-twin sound as it approached 14K great and my new "mount" will have that big-bore four-cylinder torque that I have yet to tell you about...

    Mind you, if you've ever heard an RZ500 coming onto the power from 6 and going through to 10K...now THAT is a sound and a half.....
