Narrow angle V twins are notorious for vibration, although on a small engine it may not be too bad. Some say the Ducati, Honda and Suzuki V twins are actually 'L' twins because of 90 degree angle, which is intrinsically well balanced.

I am also curious how air cooled engines can meet emission regulations, and air cooled v twins have had problems with overheating on rear cylinder.
