I dont know what the hell you are talking about...but I like the power delivery and, especially, the sound of a air-cooled, narrow angle v-twin.

Water cooled Vtwin FTW. Now I just need to find me a 300lb water cooled Vtwin that makes 200rwhp.

Desmosedici RR? (197hp, according to technical specs).

Granted the price tag isn't the most appealing thing in the world.

ETA: Ah damn, reading comprehension FTW. I missed the *rwhp* part... nevermind. Carry on.
