Love the Ducati V twins, but stuck with a suzuki inline 4.
To throw a spanner in the works the V4 engine is a nice one, so smooth as well.
Only heard one wankel engine and the was a norton F1 in a fireblade frame, nice sound. |

The Norton I rode round the I.O.M. wasn't mine, but it pulled pretty well and the torque was quite impressive to say the least 
Used to love ma twin cylinder 2 strokes though to have a play with, RD 400's were awesome  |

I had an old RD400DX, it was a bit of a frankenstein bike. It did make laugh I rode it though, only downside was it rattled itself to bits if were not too carefull. |

Can't beat a big throbbing single cylinder like the Honda NX650 Dominator but for sake of upsetting everyone ill say the V twin in something like the Honda Xrv 750 Africa Twin a go anywhere bike for those with a spirit of Adventure. |

I stripped down and rebuilt every bike I ever bought. Ma Beckett tuned RD400E was quicker than ma Z750 round the IOM  |

Ater being on honda 4's for most of my road bike riding,I now own a ktm 990smt,and absolutely adore the twins now,roll on/off is much better and engine braking.
Did take a bit of getting used to however,was like riding with kangaroo juice at first lol |

I thought the Africa twin was a parallel not a v twin? |

in line 1100 & 600 (CBRs)
single cylinder 125 
used to have 1100 V4 that sounded more like a V8 if you ran it with everything from the collector box back removed  |

Straight fours are ok, but so bland after a few hours.
For me, it's always a V-twin, especially if I've got long runs of more than 24 hours in the saddle...
Long-legged and easy to live with..!

Although I would love a tripple.
And a vtwin but a streetfighter. Maybe an old 748 and cut it down. Sv would be cool but not a massive fan of the look.
Really want to build a streetfighter or maybe a Caffè racer (would want to try a boxer engine for that though) but sadly funds don't allow atm.
