single cylinder engines the lowdown

[Whealie]

do single cylinder engines wear out quicker than mulits or are they as long lived?

are they harder on chains etc than twins or about the same?

are there advantages/disadvantages to them regarding commuter bikes?

does it all depend on the engine and gearing

should i shut up with the questions?

cheers

Hi again,

Just caught up with the thread,

Did you get the 650?

That's the same 'Motrax' Engine as the Aprillia I had (But with 4 valves rather than the 5 of the Aprillia IIRC? Brilliant bikes and loads of fun but BIG thumpers!)

Are you up for TLD09?

I'm planning for it but may have to sell my V Strom before it (( (If I do then I'll probably end up doing it on a borrowed Vara 125!)(It's a very long story, probably best told over a couple of pints!)

Will get in touch soon to arrange another trip out when the weather gets less white!
