lol I swear I'm not following you around..

I used to think the larger crank and pistons would make for larger centrifugal force to offset, BUT! Litres rev lower. The couple thousand rpm difference may actually make those forces closer than most people think.


I have no hard facts to back this up, just something I was thinking about one day..
