Dall'Igna to Ducati as Director of Corse

Could you imagine what a total ball-buster a V4 bevel-drive would have been? Holy ....... hell of an engine to shim.

....... original 750 interceptor/VFR750 was tough enough!!
 
A Mate's bloody recalcitrant Pantah with rooted pick up wires is killing me. Give me an HRC 2-smoke (in deference to Barry's delicateness about the correct terms) anyday.

. Aprilia were well known for their fantastic 60 v twin. Now a 60 v4 would be a nice compact engine to build a chassis around imo.


 


Interesting ....... bugger all to do with the size of the engine ....... but 60 degrees and they are reducing VSG's. Thats what the real problem is.

Thats "blue-smoke" you green poseable plasticine dork!!.  And yeah I agree I can't see the real goodness in many Duc's but I have to admit I liked the 1098. I'd still get an RC8 instead though.

They also prototyped a V4 Pantah.


 


Yup. Almost forgot about it...

I replaced mine with a new system. Never looked back :) The OEM Bosch pickups were ..... and an acknowledged achilles heel.


 


I met my wife on a Pantah 500 - lovely bike, that. Just a little underpowered for the track, but a nice little mover on a twisty road.

.... you're an easy one to troll, BM. Old fart air cooled piston ported pieces of detritus that pump out clouds of unburnt hydrocarbons? You and your VMX neckbeards are welcome to them


 


An RC8, eh? What are you on now, a Hyosung or something isn't it?

Doing that now. The wires have some remnant of insulation on them...but 90% of the pale green crap has cracked off. While that's being addressed, new pick ups are on the way. This is a 600 Pantah in a TT2 rep frame... He's done an amazing job on it. First start up was a couple of weekends ago. Ran like a dream. Now it's getting temperamental...

There's a lot of hot-ups for the 600. That 100ccs made all the difference. Pretty bike.
