BMW's K bikes have 3 or 4 horizontal inline cylinders. The camshafts
are on the left, the crank on the right. If you park them on the side stand,
they lean to the left. When you start them up, they would smoke for a
while. I think BMW fixed that eventually, but not before riders learn to
park them on the centerstand so the engine is level.
