I know you ride the fast stuff, the pure canyon weapons ... Holy carp is it the new V4 Panigale ??(!!)
V4 Speciale.
Schweeeet. That's their full-on MotoGP engine !!
Well, the new Stradale V4 engine is based on the architecture of the MotoGP engines. 90° V4, 81mm bores, counter-rotating crank, etc. But it has a longer stroke, and milder tuning than the MotoGP engines for better longevity, and less frequent service intervals than the pure racing engines. It's down about 30 peak HP, and bike weight is up about 30 lbs from the MotoGP machine.
BUT, unlike the MotoGP machine, it's street legal.
