Buckster Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The 1200 twins are a torquey engine. Must be the 270 degree crank. What do you say @Pedro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Oh for sure! It makes them torquey but also feel and sound like a V-Twin, gives them character. I'm pretty sure my bike´s main flaw is not having 270º anywhere. No twin is worth buying without a 270º. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
