Default newbie question Vtwin vs I-4

I'm a relative newbie when it comes to bikes... i'm an idiot when it comes to engines in general...

i read in another thread that HD just accuired MV agusta...

here's my question...

why do cruisers have v-twins and sport have i-4s?

i assume the i-4s can rev much higher hence the sport bike... and the vtwins make a loud noise which appeals to the cruiser market...

is it just the market that defines what kind of motor a bike has?

the b-king is an i-4, but considered a standard ...
