I chose I4 only because that is all that I know.

RedRider2k2 · 08-30-2009, 11:59 PM

I love twins and I4s.

V4s are just too cool not to vote for though.

Cutty72 · 08-31-2009, 12:05 PM

Been on I4's and V twins. I love me some V twin torque!

It is all mission specific to me. I prefer engines with character regardless of cylinder arrangement. Hairdryer type, electric, sewing machine like engines are boring...If my genie in a bottle were asking to fulfill my wish I would want a Big cc V4. Perhaps of Aprilia design...

I've had I4's in the past and parallel twins as well as my current V twin and the V twin is my favorite.

papapoi · 08-31-2009, 01:34 PM

V-twin for me

Been a big triple fan for a while. Nice torque and midrange and it still has that top end kick.

Tmall · 08-31-2009, 04:10 PM

Twin all the way.

Scot · 08-31-2009, 06:30 PM

I've had a several twins and 4 V4s. I still think the V4 is it.

Superhawk
Buell S1
BMW R1150 GS (ok, maybe that doesn't count)
Aprilia Caponord

2 VFRs
2 Vmaxs.

Maybe it's the bikes I've owned that sway me?

Or perhaps your preferences swayed your purchases? If it has 2 wheels and any engine it can be fun!
