The only commercial v4 is the desmosedingdong and I doubt they'll make a special version of that.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

the conversation is about Ducati's motors.  plenty of robot-piano-toaster-dildo manufacturers make 600cc class v4s.

I've got the pieces/parts to put together probably one of the best 750 motors ever and it's going to be mild by comparison to a DS1000...  Despite having 2-3x the $ into it that could be used to buy a DS1000...

799 hi-comp kit
900 diameter valves
900i.e. Cams
Dry-clutch
695 6-speed trans
749 charging system...
& 40mm flat-slides

Still going to be slow...  :-/

(BTW, a BIG +1 to the above quote...)

Who in their right mind would fix up a 750?  [laugh]

I liked the era of 750 bikes, and have a soft spot for the bevel-drive heritage 750 motors, but a Monster or Supersport 750 is a bit anemic.

The 800 is where it's at. Monster 800 or 800SS is a great bike. That extra ~10 HP and a few lb-ft of torque make a difference. The 800 was a great motor. I haven't ridden much of the 796 to make a comparison, though. Maybe it's fantastic as well.
