Almost. Inlines traditionally fire in two pairs, however having four cylinders firing at different times wont nessecarily develop more guts, it's just a smaller power hit with each "fire", meaning it's easier to ride. It also leaves a bigger gap between firing.
The actual crank is not balanced at all, they've mastered nothing in that regard, and had to beef the shit out of the crank journals to hold the thing in one bit. To minimize vibration, they've thrown on a big balance shaft, whic in turn sucks power.
That being said, they're heading in a cool new direction and it's the first R1 of yet hankered to have a hoon on. I understand it's spectacular to ride.

Nah...has two piston at top dead centre at same time. 1 and 4 then 2 and 3...but 1 will fire on the first revolution of the crank...and 4 will fire on the second as 1 is expelling exhaust gases... 180 degree firing... 4 times 180 = 720...or 2 revolutions of the crank.
How about that Ant west!!! fucking lil gun!!
