Inline engines and opposed flat engines (old VW Bug) are smoother because their pistons all move on a single plane and thus the weight/motion of some counter act the weight/motion of the others.

V- engines have weights (pistions/rods) being thrown about on two planes (~60 degrees off) and thus their momentum is not cancelled like inline engines.
