With Ducati about to release a high-end V4 super-sports machine, is Honda  with so much history with the V4 engine caught napping?

 

So who is copying whom?  Honda was accused of copying Ducati in the late 1990s producing the VTR series of bikes (sadly missed in their lineup today) and now that Ducati is producing a V4 does this vindicate Honda's belief of the perfect balanced bike?

 

So why is Ducati abandoning is trademark 90 degree V-Twin engine?  Has the Vee-Twin reached the economic limits of horsepower?  Is the physical size of the engine now impeding handling? Are they losing their Vee-Twin capacity allowance in racing?  Or are they getting a runaway problem with emissions?

 

Your thoughts...?
