WowWoWoWow!!!!!!!!!

eh but i got no idea what engine they're using leh... i mean, if ducati sticks to their V2 traditions... wah liews.. they're gonna need a 1500cc engine or something to keep up with the 500cc 2 strokes... hmn... quite likely it's a different engine.. but it's a closely guarded secret... perhaps something like the RS3... with quad desmodromic valves... yummy...

Actually i see the bike chio only. Dont know much about Ducati bikes. But most of the ducati bikes look chio!

oooh.. no problem ah.. i just like their bikes also... the main distinction with ducati bikes is that they only make 4 stroke v-twins... every single "modern" (post-90 i think) ducati you see (minus this GP prototype) is a v-twin 4 stroke... desmodromic valves are also used, meaning engine valves that don't use valve springs.. mercedes used to use this technology for their race machines as well, until spring and metal working technology got better, but ducati still uses them to this day... completely avoids the valve float at high revs problem...

i wonder wads gonna happen
-
well well... i believe the engine they are using is a V4... but effectively behaves like two Vtwins siamesed together forming the same Big Bang characteristic of the original ducati Vtwins...Originally posted by l3stat:eh but i got no idea what engine they're using leh... i mean, if ducati sticks to their V2 traditions... wah liews.. they're gonna need a 1500cc engine or something to keep up with the 500cc 2 strokes... hmn... quite likely it's a different engine.. but it's a closely guarded secret... perhaps something like the RS3... with quad desmodromic valves... yummy...
the engine is called "DesmoSeidici" i think for the desmodromic valves and the seidici for "16" ??
anyway its a 999cc i think... cool stuff.. but the big honda machine should be way in front.. they got so much more development time... and their funding sure beats the italians...
should be nice to hear the v4 in action though..
