New Ducati Panigale Gets V4

Maybe a 2 sided swingarm too. I never understood why Ducati got 200cc more displacement than everyone else because they wanted to base their engine configuration on an inferior architecture (V twin)
 
Mate , that's going to be one hell of a motorcycle . Think the servicing etc might be a killer $ wise , if anything like the trick v-twins . Just love all the super trick aftermarket components available for the Italian bikes though . I have even seen some carbon fibre triple clamps , and there are quite a few carbon swingarm manufacturers for the top line Ducati .
 
what's interesting is isn't that an Aprillia? That bike is all sorted and crazy good. Ducati is a new bike and new engine. I don't buy the BS about the 90 degree V4 maintaining the "big bang" of a V twin. But maybe the desmo valves will distinguish it. Looks like the old bike from spy photos, that might be a bad move.
