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?

There's always one isnt there? :P

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

Parallel twin......

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

and that's why Norton are releasing one soon?

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!
