“Ideally what we needed was a 90-degree V, so you can ditch the balancer shaft, but then you end up with really weird chassis geometry. 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.

we couldn't figure out how to make a Ducati.

Point taken. Make mine the one that comes in carbon (the article wasn't clear about which one gets the horrible paint.)
