Rule of Two - Rise of the Twins

[SirFallalot]

I've tried a couple 2000s twins and found them vibey and "meh". The speedometer did increase, but it just didn't feel the same?
I've yet to try the famous twin yamaha have been sticking in everything the last couple years though.

To me makes sense that medium sized bikes have twins and triples instead of L4s tbh, be it the R7, naked or a tourer. The high up and narrow powerband of low cc l4s just isn't a good all rounder or money maker.

Big bore L4's is where the fun's at tho

I ride a Triumph street twin as an alternative to the wing, great for a different experience.

Being an old git it suits now. I think triumph really nailed this twins thing. There is a bike for everyone based around 2 engines, the build quality is good and triumph branding and marketing is compelling.

The accessories from triumph and others allow a lot of personalisation of the bikes which I like.

As for the riding experience its nothing like the vibey experience of old and any 900cc bike isnt going to be slow. It handles well now after replacing the pogo stick original shocks and installing progressive springs. It has character.
