Lockdown has some benefits. I spent most of yesterday designing the motorbike that I thought Ducati should have put the new V4 engine in.
How many of you would be interested in buying one of these?
Personally for touring I’m happy to trade horsepower for torque. There’d still be enough power there to lose your license quite easily. However I’ve proposed two engine variants.
Here’s my spec.
DUCATI ST V4 Design proposal.
Capacity 1158cc V4.
Two engine models:
145 Hp max torque 140Nm
200 Hp max torque 100Nm (R model)
Dry Weight 200Kg or less.
Front Tyre 120/70 zr 17
Rear Tyre 195/55 zr 17
Seat height 800 - 820mm
Cast aluminium monocoque frame and rear sub frame.
Facility to mount hard luggage.
Rear brake reservoir mounted away from the heat of the engine.
