>i4 is bad as a street engine
I really don’t understand where this meme comes from, there are plenty of i4’s tuned for low end torque.
The smooth power delivery in your first few thousand RPM is really nice, the weaker engine braking is also nice so you can take your hand off the throttle every once in a while. The peakiness is ideal for highway riding too.
Even when I’m wringing it out I’m getting still getting 40+mpg similar to an SV
It sounds absolutely amazing, the only real problem for street riding IMO is that it shits out heat but so do Harley’s and other air cooled engines and they never get called “bad street bikes” for it
