Re: Ducati V4
well, as soon as ducati starts to run a V4 in WSBK, I suspect they will be as dominant as ever. After the way they've showed up in motoGP, I truely believe these guys know how to build a racebike (that'll only last the length of the race&#33

Re: Ducati V4
Honda has probably forgot more about building V4's than Duc has time to copy......

Only way they will beat Honda is by schmoozing the FIM and tweaking the rulebook.....

thats what people said about motogp (they'd get their asses kicked because the rules weren't in their favor) and so far they have shown up and really played ball...

I have no reason to think their street V4 will not homologate into their WSBK contender... *And be just as competitive...

I say this knowing honda built a bike (the RC51) to beat ducati at their own game and went 2 for 3 in WSBK championships with it. *Should have been 3 for 3 and would have been in 2001 if edwards hadn't had several engines go pop on him early in 01... *

Re: Ducati V4
If they make it pretty (like the 916/996.998) they will sell a truckload.

On a side not, did anyone check out the exhaust survey?
