Woild it not follow the 959/1299 pricing policy / difference?
I still think they would prefer to keep a sportsbike v twin than a small v four. It’s part of their heritage. In a shrinking market I don’t see where a smaller v four would fit.

Just imagine if they made an engine to rival the 765 Daytona but in V4... would have to be about 680 V4 and a screamer !!!

It’s a fantastic idea but it is not a sensible business idea.

Aprilia are going with a parallel twin for their 660, if they launch it.

I'm just glad they've taken my advice and accepted that the parallel twin is the best of the twins.
