Ah, parallel twin with crank mimicking the 75deg v-twin.  I guess that helps keep it light and compact. Ducati need to make something like this with an air cooled 1100. What the Ducati wouldn't have in peak hp would be more than compensated for with torque, and the simplicity of no radiator and plumbing.

I'd probably need to make it a two day trip.  :D
