I have always ridden inline 4 cylinders. Just bought a C -90 Suzuki. I noticed that when I accelerated hard that it had a sound like something is banging or like an exhaust leak. It has aweasome power and rides great. Just wanted to know if the v-twins had a different sound than the inline 4 cylinders?

Oh, indeed they do. They sound like a motorcycle rather than a sewing machine.

And the inline 4s run like a motorcycle and the V-Twins run like a sewing machine.

Nah. Been there, done that. In the past I've had an inline 4 and also an inline 3. Several v-twins as well. I just prefer them.

I'll grab my V Strom, and meet you in Big Lake.
