Twins and vibration

Some of my riding buddies claim they don't like twins because of the vibration. I've only ever ridden a twin and it vibrates a lot less than some other bikes I've been on. I don't even notice it unless I'm up around 10K RPM. :eek: What's your take on this?

in general, from what I know and my limited experience riding them..they do tend to vibrate more, mainly just the nature of the engine.

I myself being an ex twin owner, I have felt it to vibrate more then my GSXR does. Never knew the real reason but I chalked it up to being a V-Twin. Still was a great ride though. :)

You are obviously into sport bikes. The HD boys don't call it vibration, they call it "character" :smilelol:

I am just not in the mood to have to tighten everything all the time I want to go for a ride first. LOL just kidding. I know its not all the time. But it is enough thou. :)

That would be to easy for them and then they wouldn't have the HD symbol on it. S*#t, I'll paint it on there for them if thats what they want. :D

it's the harley aura, the prestige, the " I support America", crap they throw around about thier bikes.....eh, bite me, im as patriotic as you are!!! somehow this turned into the harley bashing thread..LOL...

I'm patriotic. I server my country for over 6yrs. You don't see me going out there and getting a HD just to be more patriotic. Nope. But its all good. Everyone has there own choice to make and bike to ride. Its all still 2 wheels. :)

somehow this turned into the harley bashing thread..LOL... We already have one of those... :bonk:

We already have one of those... :bonk: I know..somehow this is all DJ's fault..like usual..or maybe its CBR Riders fault ;)
