true, that rpm potential is insane, id love to ride something that rapped out to 18k lol that's nearing jet engine territory
Yeah, I wonder what happened with the 30 HP output? Seems like Ricardo wouldn't have made a major design mistake. It also seems like Ducati would have figured out something like cam timing in a high revving engine. I bet there was a sweet spot at 16,231 RPM's where the HP went to 90, but 10 rev's below or above that it dropped back to 30.
Too bad all the R&D reportedly stopped when the company was sold. Maybe someday Ducati can be a profitable independent company again and not have to worry about too many non-riding accountants.
