I thought Twinkie was when two bikers dressed in the same riding costume.

Once the engine uses two crank pins, it's no longer a V-twin. At that point it's a V-2.

My oldest son has a '99 or '00 Honda Vtwin 45°, single pin crank, carb'd, motorcycle and it sounds better than my '07 HD. Supposedly this was Honda motor targeted by HD in the application process. Don't know if its true but it sounds better than a TC.
