I'm not grasping the import of separate crankpins, but, yes, it is a 50 degree engine. That's my point. It has a primary imbalance which creates an especially vibey ride. I'm curious why that is. Basically, I really like 90 deg v-twins and fours, and I don't understand why the tremendous preponderance of American buyers vote with their money for inline fours and smaller than 90 deg twins, unless it is basically form over function. Certainly there are weight gains form inline fours just in terms of how small the engine can be. But 50 degree twins, 45 degree twins, 52 degree twins? I don't get it.
