851corsa wroteV twin, not according to Wikipedia, They describe the ducati powerplant as an L twin installation!
I'm sorry but I get really pissed off with Dr T's and Ducati's insistence that his design was a 'L' twin and not a V twin, in my book a V's a V no mater what angle you put it in the frame.
It doesn't matter how many degrees are between the cylinders, if they're in a V formation and have only 2 cylinders they're still a V Twin in my book....
Vincent's, Hardleys, Ducati's, Honda's etc are all still V Twins, if the cylinders give that famous Winston Churchill or the Againcourt salute!
