In-line triples and fours are my favorites, triples having the best combination of sound and feel I think. Although I've never had the experience of riding a CBX I think I would enjoy that in-line six even more. There is nothing that comes close to the sound of a CBX.The CBX is pretty nice, for sure. As much as I love it, though, I think that the I6 at 9,000 RPM sounds very similar to an I4 at 13,500.
In theory there's some difference in the harmonics of the power pulses, but based on sound alone I don't think I could identify an I6 vs a flat-crank I4 spinning 50% faster.
