Rossi has to work harder in several important areas because the M1's
long and ponderous crankshaft has more distance to travel than the
Honda's short and sassy V4 crankshaft... the more physical effort
spent the more it burns up concentration... and a racer only has so
much concentration during their career... the faster it's spent the
sooner it's gone... as concentration wanes mistakes are made risking
permanent injury...
From my engineers perspective this is why I believe Yamaha will eventually
build Rossi a V4... this move may distance the street rider from Yamaha's
product line but it would lower Rossi's work load and reserve more
concentration to last his career...
