Definitely am liking the V-Twin over the Inline-4, but I do enjoy the I-4 as well. Haven't had any experience with any others.

I have to agree with buzz on a running one, but I love the sound of the twins.

V-twin all the way. When seeking a new bike, it was first on the criteria list as it is what I'm used to. The sound it great, but it's the feel that keeps me coming back for more. Hours of riding pleasure right where it belongs...

Cheers,

I've had v twins, vertical twins, singles, inline 4s, 2 and4 stroke and now a 4 cyl. boxer and they are all fun. ( Like Buzz says, if they are running ones). :)

Mostly anymore, all I want is for it to get me all the way out there and all the way back. My thirst for speed was quenched long ago.
