Thanks.

I used to have a good mix of engine configurations..
including V-twins, transverse V-twins (Honda & Moto Guzzi),
BMW (transverse) inline-3 & 4,
Boxer engine and even a Boxer 4 engine among the flock, but settled for the reliability of Hondas for long term operation.















Used to have a number of thumpers, too.
KTM 660 Rallye, BMW F650, XR650R, DRZ400S, WR450F & WR250F, KLX300 (all street legal).










For street riding, the thumper engine gets old rather quickly for sustained highway operations.
Kinda feel like a shaken paint can when you get off the bike; the older I get, the more difficult to step off from a thumper after a long ride.
Similarly Ducati & HDs, therefore no so ideal for two-up riding.
