Just take a look at the head. The domes are parallel to each other and on the same plane. That would make for a very funny looking combustion chamber on a v-twin.

the only two stroke engine I have ever seen in a v configuration is the yamaha rz500. v4 at that. I wish yamaha would have put that in the banshee chassis. It would have been sweet.

You'd have to glue your hands to the handlebar in order to stay on it!
