engine preference

Scot · 08-31-2009, 05:30 PM

I've had a several twins and 4 V4s. I still think the V4 is it.

Superhawk
Buell S1
BMW R1150 GS (ok, maybe that doesn't count)
Aprilia Caponord

2 VFRs
2 Vmaxs.

Maybe it's the bikes I've owned that sway me?

Or perhaps your preferences swayed your purchases? If it has 2 wheels and any engine it can be fun!

Or maybe you hate twins because they owe you a slpeen.

BTW, besides Trip, who is gay enough to like the boxers?

The boxer is bleh. Easy to work on, pretty unful to ride.

I like the HP2 sport a lot. It's a very nice $15,000 motorcycle. The problem is, it's 25k

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.
