Mercy, Larry...I thought that was the goal of racing, to win. After all, isnt that what your 'race bred v4' obsession is all about? What's best for racing is best, period, right? So thereby, if the M1 is winning 900% more races, maybe its a better bike, regardless of its cylinder configuration.
Sorry if my sound logic confuses you. We all know your brain isnt wired quite right.
My race bred V4 obsession is about the battle of engine architects...
only 1 shall win that race and I predict thats going to be the V4 not
the I4... I'm not after the best bike of the year because best bike is
a year by year observation based on team and rider...
If you just narrowly focus on the finish and do not study Gp
engineering then you can not explain to the casual onlooker how in the
hell a British single cylinder beat the Italians 4 cylinder bikes in
the Gp history... we now know which architecture was superior and
which was the better bike... the Italians had the superior engine
architecture and the British had the best bike... but the British
single is no longer a part of Gp racing replaced by the I4 and I
predict just like the days of 2 stroke Gp racing the V4 will replace
the I4... It's all about understanding the engineering...
