Nope. JD's fire at 180, then coast for 540 degrees. Gives a better mechanical balance to keep the pistons and rods going in opposite directions.

The early JD two cylinder and the Harley have a putta sound because they use a single barrel carburetor for both cylinders and the first cylinder gets a good supply of fuel and the second one gets shorted. I've read that Victory cycle wanted to improve on the Harley but keep that sound and they found that separate carburetor cylinders improved on the performance, but lost the sound because it cured the starving of the second cylinder.
