I know a Limey when I hear one. The sound of a vertical twin is like nothing else.

“I know a Limey when I hear one.”
Go back and REread my post.

“The sound of a vertical twin is like nothing else”
True, However the sound of a 360 twin is one heck of a lot different from 180 degree twin. Most (not all) British twins were 360 and most(not all) Japanese twins were 180
Big difference.
But I know, everyone is an expert.

I rode limeys for almost 2 decades - most on 1 tricked out Norton with the big valve RH7 head, nickle plated frame, open reverse cone megaphones, eventually a 940 kit (bad move), 38 flat slide mikunis, Ceriani ft end, tomasselis.....the sound of that bike still haunts me.

Had a couple other Nortons that came & went unmolested, and a T120C that saw alot of miles, not all on the road.
