Its also interesting that Colin was only able to finally win his titles on a V-twin.

Colin Edwards struggled because he didn't get on the ground floor of
RVF homologation development... he was basically riding the bike that
Aaron Slight developed... but when the RC51 came along Colin was there
from the git go and the homologation was developed around him...
called the SP1... next Honda developed and homologated a second RC51
called the SP2... so of course he won more on the two homologated
specials that he born...
