Posted April 18, 201212 yr Hi peeps the title explains the thread, seeing as how engine layout seems to give the biggest difference in power/torque and general riding style, if you could have only one bike what layout would you want it to have?
April 18, 201212 yr Author There's always one isnt there? cant see that being practical on a bike probably hence why it never caught on, i seem to remember those engines being notorious for tip wear, even in the Mazda RX-7/RX-8s now they seem to go pop after 60k
April 19, 201212 yr I am really starting to like the triples, They have the feel of a V Twin in the lower revs but can handle speed like an In Line Four

April 20, 201212 yr If I could have only one it,d have to be inline four....they,re popular with good reason! Having said that,I,ve got a soft spot for big singles too!
April 21, 201212 yr Author Wow, V-twins sure are popular! , must be a lot of harley riders amongst us
