yup, matter of fact that's why ama superbike's mostly all switched to twins for a while, they got a displacement advantage since they had half the cylinders. that's why ducati was kicking so much ass for a while, they were the only real twins out there. honda saw that and built the rc51 and promptly wupped all thier asses.

+1 I've never been on a bike before, but I've seen people with no experience flip a 1000 over going 20 miles per hour in a neighborhood, just doesn't seem smart to buy a 1000 unless your going to limit its horsepower and torque some how...
