'naturally balanced'.This statement is not correct!
And as far as Laverda's go your lucky to keep your fillings in your teeth after a ride.
Moto Guzzi's feel very similar to the BMW horizontal flat twin vibrations, both are no-where near as smooth as he V Twin Ducati.
Ducatis and Moto Guzzi as you know share the same top end angles between their cylinders so vibration harmonically cancels; i.e. 'naturally balanced'.This statement is not correct either. Ducati's V-twins are perfect balanced because of the counter weighting that can be done (my mistake saying they were "naturally balanced")
Ducati:
The first thing is that Ducati V twins have or 90 degrees. This uniquely makes it possible to balance a 90-degree twin with counterweights of 100 percent of one piston's shaking force.
Moto Guzzi:
"There are two aspects to our Moto Guzzi engines. One is that they are "fairly" vibration free compare to some other twins (like HD and old British twins) but "they still have secondary vibrations". But that is also separate from the side to side torqueing vibration of the motor that is more noticeable when you get on or off the gas but is always there." "Guzzi parts are not well balanced and the transverse layout also contributes...the late, great Gordon Jennings felt that transverse engines seem to vibrate more.."
