Out of 7... Two V-4's stand tall

Hey @cowpuc this story has you all over it.

Here is one of the quotes from the article to temp yall.

 

"The V4 configuration has always been touted as being two engines in one; strong off the bottom like a twin but a true leg-stretcher on the top end. And boy, this was never more true than with the new Duc."

 

And

 

"If I’m honest, the top speed of the BMW scared the s**** out of me at the TT. At the Macau GP, the package worked great, and no one was blitzing me on the long straights."

 

Written by Mark Miller (former AMA class champion, 50 Isle of Man starts and current fast-lap-by-an-American record holder, 17 Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix entries, etc.),

That is an AWESOME read @Du-Rron!!!!!! MADE MY NIGHT!!!:clap2::dancefool::dancefool::thumbsup:

 

My thought immediately after reading that went something like this:

 

"one of the engineers in Mom's Yam's RnD department who was complacent in offing the V-4 that should have went in the 3rd Gen picks up a biker read,, notices the review I just finished here, reads thru it,, hands it to his buddies sitting there drinking coffee in the break room,, they read it,, the room goes deathly silent,, all of a sudden and in unison there is heard this deep, gutteral sound of "OOPPSSSS" heard so loud that a whole row of test bikes fall over in the RnD department

 

THANKS DUEY,, I NEEDED THAT :big-grin-emoticon:
