[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 186104, member: 98"] yes ive known this ...i was thinking the 20 degree overlap was a european model....seems on a oldwing4 motor this would cause more spit and sputter ...being a boxer motor with 180 degree balance and CV carbs ....when honda went 6 cylinder im sure this help smooth low rpm running though the balance is off more ... but im sure this is why the high rpm is down on the sixes ..... the one thing i noticed when i ran with fstsix and his supercharge valk is his bike and hooch were instant on the throttle ....it was so fun watching him poor it on at a good spot in the road and be just feet away and watch that big valk go to work with frame wrenching power instantly....of course i tried to instantly respond with hooch witch also leaps instantly ..but the big valk was like it was shot out of a cannon .....hooch is the same way ..but a second cannon fire never catches the first one ..plus there no doubt the valk had some extra push on its high end or maybe better put a very long sweet spot ....im guessing if the big valk had more aggressive cam and valves there no telling what kind of torque that bike could deliver gregs riding style matched mine ...like it insane to play with first gear thinking ...got to get good and strait and ready and rolling before hitting the throttle it be interesting to know what the cam specs are for the big sixes and valves sizes ...as compared to the 1200s ....seems the valks are 6 cylinder 1200 design in there stock form ..but im guessing here some .....
