Does a V-Twin turn in with less "physical effort" in this scenario?

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...
