I am not knocking in line bikes they are great, but they are not Vtwins are they?

Me
Too complicated ,too lumpy,too wide for their claimed narrowness

Uh-huh. As it happens, I have an RSV-R and an CR250 in the garage. I guess I'm just lazy and fun?

If the 1098s was the same price as a Jap litre bike.................no question-1098.
But being able to fully kit out a litre bike for racing.....and have $$ in the bank....then IL4.
Money no object........Duc just for pure sex appeal

I've never owned an IL4.
But I did go V4, V4, V2, V4. And I would have another v-twin.

But not another V4 unless a proper replacement for the VFR is released.

V2s are good if you get a decent performance one.

V4's FTW tho.
