A V-twin puts two cylinders in a V around a single crankshaft. That layout keeps the engine narrow across the frame and gives you strong pulling power at low and middle engine speeds. The angle between the cylinders isn’t fixed: each maker picks its own, and that angle shapes how the engine feels and sounds.

If a bike on this list interests you, pin down the exact generation and model year you’re looking at. Then confirm it carries a V-twin from the factory. Parallel twins, boxers and engines with more than two cylinders don’t count here. The list runs from Aprilia to Yamaha, and the cylinder angle each maker chose gives its engine a feel and sound of its own.

Every motorcycle below has v-twin engines from the factory, confirmed against manufacturer information. Where a trim or special edition shares it with the base bike, only the base bike is listed. A model that is missing here may still have it; it means we have not confirmed it yet.
