And the blacked-out engine happens to be the main attraction, producing 128 horsepower & 118 lb-ft. At 112 mm or 4.4 inches, the aluminum alloy pistons are apparently broad. The dry-sump lubrication system contributes to the low engine profile.

The Vaquero does not have a windshield, but Voyager includes a large windshield with additional features. Both have the liquid-cooled fuel-injected V-Twin engine, producing 108 lb-ft torque at 2,750 rpm.

BMW K 1600 GTL
When it comes to crossing the continents, the BMW K 1600 GTL comes to mind. It is maybe the ideal cross-country option for your hard-earned deutschmark. It sports the inline 6-cylinder engine that distributes all 1,649 ccs evenly over six cylinders — six!
Moto Guzzi MGX-21
The Moto Guzzi happens to be the brand steeped in flair & propelled by torque. And the torque comes from around 1,380 ccs of distinctively V-Twin, with a head jutting out on each side of that frame, in the MGX-21 & a couple of Guzzi's other bigger models.
