Are there any newer bikes out there with multicylinders...

Question

like the older Honda magna's? I would like to get a newer bike that has between 750cc to 1100cc with 4 cyclinders. I have never owned a V-twin but I have ridden some friends harleys and don't care for the shake and rattle of them.

Answer 1

Alice, there are MANY bikes made with 3, 4, or 6 cylinders these days, but you may be judging all v-twins unfairly. I recently bought a Yamaha V-Star 1300 (a v-twin), and it is quite a smooth engine... nothing at all like a Harley. (Nothing against Harley's, they are made to vibrate that way) So, don't assume you won't like a v-twin before you sit on it, and feel it while it's running. Most sport bikes have 4 cylinder inline style engines, and if you want a cruiser, the Yamaha Royal Star is a V-4.

Answer 2

u can get a v-8 boss hoss but u will need some muscle to be able to handle one or try finding an old valkarie those were some good looking bikes

Answer 3

Sounds like you rode an older Harley. Newer Harley's and all of the Japanese V-Twins are very smooth. There power delivery is much more forgiving than in-line 4 cylinder bikes. I would rethink my view on the V-Twin if I were you. Try to ride something like a V-Star before you decide.  

Answer 4

no real multi-cylinder cruisers other than Yamaha V-Max made anymore
