I dont like the low down grunt of a twin!!

I saw a post ' £6k to spendt, best 600-750? '  .. I was going to put RSV.. but started reading, and came accross a post I never thought I would see... here's a part. .. gobsmacked me

"I also didn't like the low down grunt of the V-Twin; I didn't really want the power to be there all the time whether I liked it or not; I found I used the clutch SO much that I gave myself hand cramp (maybe that was the heavy clutch).

It's all down to personal preference at the end of the day. If I was riding a lower powered bike, I would probably choose a V-Twin, but for a high powered bike, I prefer the low-down gentleness of an 4. A triple is a compromise between the two...less top end then a 4 and less low down grunt than a Twin, or more top end than a twin and more low down grunt than a 4, depending which way you look at it. "

Read some of his thread but all I could see was "Blah, Blah, blah, ......"
Strikes me as the type you see leaning on the bar of the pub telling stories of when he raced against the Barry Sheene, or outran the police on his RD250.
If he spent less on all the bike magazines he quotes from he could afford a new RSV4.

Sounds to me that this guy thought he knew what he was talking about....clearly his control of the throttle is a little to be desired as when you want less power, you apply less throttle.....what a numpty.

probs got a go on a cb half thou [twin?] after getting off his honda vision at the chippy....knobhead

i had a ride up to hawes once abot 10 years or more ago and was sat in this cafe , there was 2 guys in there talking about doing road tests for some bike mags , they were freelance , one was testing a 250 two stroke supermoto , cant remember what the other one was testing , i passed the supermoto on the way up there and he was riding it like a pussy , and to look at these two guys you could have sworn the had walked off the harry potter set as stand in doubles , not what you would expect a road tester to look like , all they did was bitch and moan lol .

Aye. Many a night playing cat and mouse with plod in their Sherpas

 Hmm,I think I'll drop back down to a 15t front and have some of that for the next trackday.

Why worry, all it means is that in some eyes You're " A GODDAMN SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS".

What a couple of tools  started reading it & glazed over, who cares about all that sh*t. I love my Mille cos it's got loads of low down grunt, may not be the fastest thing on the road but I never get over taken  Or if I feel in a ring a ding mood, take out the 2 stroke

I started reading that Visordown link and had to stop after a couple of minutes as I felt I'd like to bang a few heads together.

Quite why people can't make up their own minds without canvassing the world at large I don't understand.

I dont like the low down grunt either
