^^^Very true, but compression ratio 8.4:1 which is .5 less to HD; even though the numbers don't speak of anything here, but little skeptical.
Appreciate if you can throw some light on this & the next point on angle.

IMO, angle plays a big role 'cause its the second cylinder that doesn't get enough air to cool off - what do you think?

Very very true; they've huge torque & ideal for people who wants to enjoy motorcycling & the tune of "potato"
. However, this is a good example that you compared MT01 vs HD's.

Well, I would say they're priced almost the same as CBR because, XL1200N costs nearly 11OTR (9.95L) while the entry level is only 883 compared to 1000RR isn't it? But yes, I do agree, its cheapest of all the imports.
