Twins are smoother, quieter, dont require a counter balancer, are capable of higher rpms, and more.

A single is simpler and requires less maintenance and parts are much cheaper.

I get a kick out of all the talk about vibes. Yes the V-twins are smoother than a single, parallel twins are not as smooth as V's, and the King Quad's are the smoothest single I've ever ridden
