So the 72-degree is a compromise between chassis geometry, weight distribution and engine performance. A slightly wider V, like ours, also gives a better looking engine, and that’s important further down the line so we can make a naked version. I wanted the engine to be beautiful in its own right.

Point taken. Make mine the one that comes in carbon (the article wasn't clear about which one gets the horrible paint.)Translates to... we couldn't figure out how to make a Ducati.
