The V2 has less distance to travel but it weights more than a V4

further aft than a V4 crankshaft... so the amount of physical effort
to move a short and heavy crank may feel the same moving a longer
lighter crankshaft...
Weight on the front means the back end will slide predictably...
weight to the rear means the back will slide unpredictably and it's
prone to snapping into the dreaded high side... this is why you don't
slide a Ducati with more success than the 4 cylinder competition...
