G'day Arie,
Nothing wrong with Paralysed Twins! Just not appreciated by the unwashed masses as Dr. T had the twins going before L-twins arrived on the scene.
Probably the biggest Achilles heel is the cam plugs which had a habit of coming loose leading to a loss of oil pressure in the top end and resultant seizure hence the bad reputation. There have been a couple of very fast twins built and raced here in Oz so they have potential.
There is an easy fix for the problem and the rest is easy.
