It's a shame as the Monster is the reason I have a Falco now, the V or L twin is a lovely engine.
Agree entirely. Without getting the V-twin bug on an 851 and then the 888, I'd probably never have considered the Falco. Also agree entirely about the 'one exhaust on each side' thing - it's part of the V-twin heritage.
And the 90 degree Ducati engine is a wonderful powerplant. But then so is the Rotax 60 degree lump...

You're not old BG.
Exhausts - V twins have two - other things have one. It is just one of those wotsit laws of nature. Like brown bikes being better.
