     Yes, it is quite large and especially wide.

     My favourite motocycle was a Moto Guzzi that I saw many years ago.  The 
V-2 cylinders are perpendicular to the frame instead of inline, and it had a 
worm gear drive instead of a chain, making a very compact drive train.  I was 
told by the owner that cops up north liked them because the heat from the 
cylinders would keep your legs warm in the winter.
