I remember my Honda 150 twin back in the 60's had a distinctive
exhaust note that was dramatically different to my 305 SS model of
later years (not much later) and I think I remembered it having to do
with the difference in cranks, not just exhaust systems and cc, Graham

Gave a poster bogus info a couple days ago about his '93 250 NH.
Crank is a 360, not a 180.
Apparently, Honda equipped various model twins with one or the other
in the past, before settling on the 360. Such engines are known as
parallet twins or, more rarely, "straight-twos."
Since I'm an admitted technodolt, I won't display my engineering
ignorance trying to explain the relative merits of each. But using
those phrases as Google search terms turns up a plethora of
discussions about them.
I like that word...plethora, though. Scrabble anyone?
