A few days ago I was precisely lurking about how different amounts of cylinders within a very same displacement range will change substantially the character of an engine. I guess you remember the Suzuki DR 800 S with its big thumper, which might eventually be capable to move those subcompacts still available in markets where Suzuki has a strong foothold.
