I read in Motorcyclist that Aprilla has a killer V4 engine waiting for a new bike for next year :cool:

I recall that the old Magnas from the 1980's had real heat-related problems on the back 2 cylinders, even though they were water cooled.

Aprillia and Ducati have been talking/working on moving to V4 or L4 designs for a while. You have to keep in mind, their lineups have been mainly v-twins unlike the Jap bikes which have a mix of mainly i4 and v-twin with a few other various configurations mixed in.

I would love to see Honda start using v4's in their sport bikes but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

Cool! Bags seem awfully small though. Maybe 'cause the bike's so big?
