First one is much more elegant and practical.  Looks good.

I wonder what kind of torque effect you would get on that second one.  Rev it at slow speed and you just might loose it.
Do not attribute to malice what can be easily explained by incompetence, fear, ignorance or stupidity, because there are millions more garden variety idiots walking around in the world than there are blackhearted Machiavellis.

I think the rear cylinders on the first pic would have some trouble getting adequate cooling.
