Never thought of it that way. But I do love the look of that bike.

Exactly. And while boxers are nice, when you need to put sliders on the engine covers to keep from scraping the thing off, you really should re-consider your engine configuration. That thing is the 911 of bikes.

Not enough diversity in my riding history.
I've mainly ridden I4's and the V-Twins I've ridden have been Harley's and cruisers.
Can't claim a favorite until I ride more types.

Big bike shows are where it's at. I've ridden all the common configs. I4, V-twin, Single, P-Twin, V4. It's amazing how much difference there is when you change the design ideal and displacement a little in the same style engine. Small singles around 250 suck on the street, but get up to 650, and it's not bad. Then you go from the SV to the Buells to the Aprilias, and the V-Twins can have a big variety too. I can't wait to ride a VFR, because I definitely did not like the V4 in the Max. Still waiting to ride a modern triple and a turbine and a boxer and etc. etc. etc...
