RE: V-Twin v. Inline Four...
Mmm, torque the talk, in-line fours deliver their peak torque at a higher (& shorter) range. A good V will give you the mumbo pretty much straight off, but trails off at the higher rev range. Ringing the kneck of a V is pretty much a waste of time. Rolling along on & off the torque curve in a set of twisties is pure joy. Guzzie's are a good example of a great V twin (I've owned 2), their idiocyntric, in good (easy to service) & bad ways (cost of parts), but the basic design of 'V's means that they will last.
I like '4's for their all round abilities & the big friggin grin factor when you hit the zone. I like the look of the VTR Honda Firestorm, & would be more than happy to have one in my garage, if I could get away with owning two bikes.

the Vtwin is also (as I understood it) a better bike through the twisties and on the track because of the balance of the engine...The RC51 is definitely a great bike I was considering it to the Repsol. I also am a huge Duc fan and it's no surprise they are committed to the V-twins in their bikes as well.
