Whats the difference between V-Twin engine and single cylinder engine?

1. The pistons fire almost the same time, but not firing together. It's almost the same due to the angle difference between the 1st and 2nd cylinder. i.e 45 / 60 / 90 deg V-Twin.

 

2. Moto GP bike engine design is very different from production bikes running on the road. Production bikes fire one cylinder at anyone time.

 

its just a matter of time before all this things get into production bikes... The 2009 R1 for eg already has cross plane crank shaft that results in a rather non-uniform firing pattern...

v twin engine produces a very unique sound. eg rvf, hd, dragstar, vtr.

 

RVF has a V-Four engine. It sounds quite different from a V-Twin powered bike.

forgot that rvf vfr is a V4 instead of a V2

 

yups, do agree RVF sounds very different from V twin powered.

if u thinking about 2b bikes, don't think too much.

get a two stroke bike.

faster, yet easier to mantain and simpler engine.

My opinion on the matter is, a vtwin need to have some omph to feel its power. So I will definitely stay away from a 125cc/200cc vtwin engine..
