I had the F800GS with the "Boxer sound" but I didn't like that engine, the boxer is so much better.
I'm no specialist but the vibrations around 5000-6000rpm were really bad (very fine vibrations).
Not sure why but I think it has to do with the counter balance arrangement.
So are you saying you could achieve exactly the same engine feel (not the low center of gravity) with a
parrallel Twin?
