jhenley17 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 My connection at work sucks, but I think I saw that it's an 1100? If they put this into a Streetfighter, I will immediately wait around for a few years until I can afford one on the used market.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhenley17 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I'd be more moved to buy a V4 than a new twin. They're sticking with a conservative I4 anyways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer BusyLittleShop Posted September 8, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted September 8, 2017 V2 are no longer a part of Mr.Honda's racing plans the same for Mr.Ducati... engineers know the V4 sports more advantages the a V2... V2 are slow and ponderous like Muhammad Ali whereas a V4 are quick and sassy like Bruce Lee... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhenley17 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I dunno about all that, but they are cheater bikes. Glad they changed the rules. If you can't compete at the same displacement as everyone else, figure something else out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they changed the rules. If you can't compete at the same displacement as everyone else, figure something else out. Please correct me if I misunderstood your reference, but for the record Fogarty and Corser won those WSBK championships in the 90's on 1000cc Ducatis racing against 750cc fours. Honda got sick of losing in WSBK (unlike today!) and built a 1000cc v twin to the rules. Thus the big smiles on the faces of Aaron Slight and Colin Edwards on their RC51's in Dutchy's photo at Phillip Island! C'mon Honda, let's see a v4 superbike.

jhenley17 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 That's what I'm talking about, twins get a displacement advantage, making them cheater bikes. Although I'm probably wrong about the rule change I mentioned. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think it was emissions laws that prompted Ducati's change, not WSBK rules.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's a new movie called "Birth of the Dragon" coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
