he meant for the SBK a V4 16 valve instead of the V2 8 valve.

high volume production should keep prices below 25k but i can't see the 848 getting a v4

maybe a 1200 v4 and a 900 v2 for the sbk
I think the 2v is history in the next year or 2,  EPA !   Dolph

I don`t give a damn who said what, I want one [thumbsup]
Better hope Biaggi does well w/ the bike or the sales volume won't justify production.   Dolph

I like it - it looks better then the old bike. It does have a CBR'ish look to it on the front end.  From the early spy shots that I have seen the thing looks tiny:



Unless the guy riding it is an oger  ;D



Reports I have read have remarked on it's relatively small size

Man, with that BMW, now THIS....

WSBK is going to be real fun to watch next year...  ;D

This weeks MCN quotes Aprila as saying a V4 Tuono is in the early stages of design, expected for 2010.

The price of the Factory is expected to be about 75% of the current cost of a 1098R.

Depends on the stats.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Word!  It's a really nice looking machine, and I am sure it will scoot like a startled cheetah, but $30K?  Not so sure about that...
