No thanks....

Cylinders work better in even numbers I find and the 16v is a more durable motor with plenty of tuning possibilities.

One works well on small bikes, three works well on bigger bikes, 9 works on radials and small Deltics

Any less than 4 results in vibration. Even things like Speed Triple suffer...

Even 4 results in vibration, unless it's a boxer 4 (i.e. only Subaru these days). V6s aren't naturally balanced either.... for that you want an I6, V8, V12 or any boxer engine with even number of cylinders. I'm sure there are more (W16 springs to mind) but that's off the top of my head :D

I've had 1 cyl OHV, 1 cyl Disc valve, lots of 2 cyl 180degree 8 valve DOHC, a 2 cyl SOHC 4 valve 360 deg (horrid) and a 4 cyl 16 valve

Oh and the 180 degree twins had a balancer shaft (gear driven unlike the Hondas ;D)
