Vtwin 4 lyfe yo
With a 944 Desmo and a peppy Honda, it's good.

I like the flat twin on my old beemer. It's so easy to work on... it's light... it's naturally smooth running....it makes enough horsepower to suit me...and it's probably the most durable engine ever put on a motorcycle. I do sometimes yearn for the power of a in-line 4, but I feel safer without it.

So, I voted V-Twin, but after owning the F-6, I'm liking it for it's own reasons. To top it off, the bike I want has a V-4...
What the hell do I know anyway??????

Actually, why yes, yes I do.......just have to pass a hat around to collect donations to pay for the repairs. So how much can I put you down for eh? I figure a goodly donation is in order since you left me sitting by the side of the road in Abbotsford.

Damn that was a nice day....
You didn't expect me to sit around when here was riding to be done did you????
Actually, I'm glad to hear you're up and running again, or are you waiting for gas money after those repairs???
What was the problem?

Inline six- I never saw one that was Factory
What? You never heard of or seen the Honda CBX inline 6?
There is a guy in Vancouver looking to sell a match pair of them. If I had the dollars, I'd grab them as collector pieces.
Always ask why.

WOW!!!
Those are beautiful, the only ones I've seen around are pretty much rust buckets. He has really done some fine work on those two...
