360* engines are easier to get basic balance with a fairly simple balance shaft, because their moving parts effectively make one big single-cylinder engine. It's my understanding that the 180* can be natively more balanced, but are harder to get beyond that point because of their fire-skip-skip-fire ignition pattern.
I see a lot of 360* twins versus 180* twins. -Kurt On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 8:50 AM, Graham Rogers <[email protected]>wrote: > 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 > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
