My 1999 Kawasaki W650 is a 360 degree twin. Both Pistons go up and down at the same time.

I finally racked up the magic 100K mile mark last weekend :-)

Both cylinders fire at the same time?
Crank isnt offset.
Works like a double capacity single?

I know nothing about old brit bikes, but not seen an engine like that before.

I know some jap 4's fire 2 cylinders at once, basicaly making it act like a twin.
It's a 650 pre unit Triumph twin. Both pistons go up and down together but fire alternately.

Further to what Phil said, remember that with a four stroke engine, each cylinder fires once every two revolutions. :)

Thats not the headlight on.

My W650 is similar to the Space Shuttle on re-entry to the Earths atmosphere innit, that glow is from air friction, I'm a fast rider! (Not).

London riding, headlight is ALWAYS on.
