Searching for a great-sounding motorbike? Here are 5 bikes with a twin-cylinder engine
The Yamaha R3 is a bike that gets a twin-cylinder engine and it competes with the Aprilia RS457, KTM RC 390 and the Kawasaki Ninja 300. If you're in the category of enthusiasts who derive pleasure from the exhaust note of your motorbike, then you might find twin-cylinder bikes more interesting as compared to those with only a single cylinder.

Besides, dual pot engines are generally much smoother revving at higher speeds, owing to their inherently balanced nature.
