I know where you mean with the bike shops too its like a strip mall.

I have posted these on the ESE thread i thought i had here to but no actually there is a shit load i have not posted here.

[agman]

what are we debating here? cos ya all lost me

Radial = pots in a radial format
Vee = pots in a V format
Paralell = pots side by side
Square = pots in a square format
Ell = pots in a L format
Tandom = KR
Transverse = any formate with crank (cranks) laying paralell with the bike
Flat = the pots are on their farking flat

all reguardles off number of cranks

So the engine out of say the 80's bmw k100's, are they flats or L4's?

Yip but sounds like a sewing machine.
Cobas made one (K75)into a race bike once, it was quite successful in endurance racing. looks like they might have done a 4 as well

My da has a k100 sitting in the shed with suspected buggerd injectors. Is the k75 a triple?

Yip pretty much 3/4 of the K100. The K75 was released first from memory.
I have the write up somewhere i think it was called "the flying brick"
They had a lot of black box troubles, but electronic fuel injection was cutting edge then.

Yes the K75 is a tripple, my da has a K100 too, engine frame and bits and bobs, he has been talking about making a real laid back chopper....

He wants to make something that's all about the engine and minimalist every where else.

It's an inline four you over complicating prick!

Yamaha and Toyota use modern DOHC slant motors. Slugs leaning at up to 35°. They're still an inline four, what's the difference.

Transverse inline four at best, since the crank is 'north/south' I suppose.
