You really can't compare a 4 stroke 2 cylinder engine that revs to 13-14k or whatever to a 10 cylinder engine that is only a little bit smaller in bore/per cylinder that revs to 9k rpm.
Vibration and shaking your internal organs are a product of bass, not amount of air moved. That is why you never hear it from a sport bike. Also, 2 cylinder sport bike? Really? The great majority are I4s.
