Why the disappointment?
Parallel twins can be lighter, easier to work on & they're slightly cheaper to build due to fewer moving parts.
Looks like half the engine from the new K1200R? If so, it makes sense to me. In recent years V-twins have become too common IMO, with just about all manufacturers churning them out with varying degrees of success. They make no more power than an equivalent parallel twin & the V-twin's traction can be duplicated by modifying the parallel twins firing order like Yamaha did the 270 degree TRX & later TDM.
