      You might have misunderstood what "flat twin" means:
      Flat means the disposition (opposed cylinder in an horizontal configuration)
      Twin means two cylinders.
      So flat twin : two cylinders opposed
      goldwings use flat four and flat six, so either 4 or 6 cylinders, not 2
      And yes, the bmw K series use an inline configuration, not a flat one. But the k75 and k100 have special engines nonetheless because they are disposed longitudinally, and horizontally, which is extremely rare, if not the only one done this way.

    360° firing interval twins are the most boring, dull, bland sounding twins on the planet.
