There is a motorcycle rally that only allows "big twins"... I am new to riding and don't know if I can go.

The key there is the word BIG. That's really Harley talk for the larger v-twin bikes as opposed to the smaller sportster v-twins.
Harley 74, 80, 88 inch is big twin. Sportster 883, 900, 1100, or 1200 is small twin.
I'd look into whether they only allow Big Twin Harley's, which I suspect, or is a metric "big v-twin" ok.

Big Twin is Harley Davidson 1200cc and up with seperate transmission,(the twin cam has transmission bolted to crankcase and so is a semi-unit construction, unlike the Sportster which has unit construction) You need to call for more details

Heidi: This refers to motorcycles with "V-Twin" engines, such as all Harleys, and some Hondas, Yamaha's , Suzukis, etc. If you have a "big" (like 1000cc or more) V-Twin crusier type bike, chances are, it's for you.
