V4 Stradale

[NAKID]

I doubt a loss of torque... It should sound like nothing else:

It's only rated at 88.51 lb-ft of torque...

[Dirty Duc]

You're going to miss a half a ft/lb off the 1198? And that's more than a panigale chart a quick Google search picked up...

With a given displacement, you can only get so much twist. You do get (with an unlimited budget) to choose the rpm and curve... I bet this has a smoother delivery and more area under the curve.

"More than 120 Nm (88.51 lb-ft) from 8,750 to 12,250 rpm*"

Which means more than 147 HP at 8750rpm, and more than 206 HP at 12250rpm.

[Dirty Duc]

That sounds healthy...

Yowsa.

Not sure what he's doing, but he's sure got it sideways.

[koko64]

He's just playin'

This doesn't sound like any V4 I've ever heard. Did he confuse it with this one:

It's the offset crank. Kind of like how a cross-plane R1 is the only sexy-sounding I4.

And when he pans over the top triple, it clearly says V4 Stradale...

I agree they need to make the cost of Ducati ownership cheaper.

I noted one Persia's comment about valve springs replacing Desmo.

Dropping rubber belts for chains and Desmo for valve springs would surely lower service costs! Seriously, 32 shim checks on a V4! Yikes!

[Speeddog]

M821/1200 are 18k miles on valves, 18k/5 yr on belts
899 Pani, V4 Pani are 15k on valves, never on belts
MTS1260 is 18k miles on valves, 18k/5 yr on belts

For many first owners, that qualifies as never.

Well you make a fair point. Those are certainly long intervals.
