Seems so according to MCN :D . Or is it a v-twin? Engine looks like a v twin.

That exhaust can looks a bit "cobbled together".
I like the hippy paint job. They should leave it just like that.

A "mini" V4 would be epic!!! Would probably become their best seller

depends on the price , I can't see many people paying nearly £20k for a mini V4 when they could get an R1M or ZX10
for less.

Think of it this way, you can get a V4 Ducati for the same price (or less) than a Kawasaki or Yamaha

The 959 prices are pretty low considering the age. I suspect they'll take a further hit if this is their new middleweight.

I'd be tempted by a mini V4. I'm currently tempted by the up coming Aprilia mini RSV.

Maybe that's what the Pani is.. a 660 Twin for Mini/supertwin race classes??

That RSV660 looks pretty mint IMO

That's very true. As much as I would want a 800 V4 if it was similar money to a R1M I think I would end up giving Mr Yamaha my money tbh.
