"One bike or engine I'll never own again is a 360-degree parallel twin (as in, the F800GT, etc). It sounded like someone kicked a 55-gallon drum full of wrenches down a hill."

Wow. We'll have to agree to disagree. I love the sound of the 360 parallel twin. Right around 4k is the sweet spot. I prefer it to any other motorcycle sound...even the Italian birds.

I also prefer the parallel twin over the I4 for the engine braking. Makes setting up for corners much easier.
