If Ducati can ditch this maybe Harley could make a V4 Tourer without a gopping headlight and without the $40,000 price tag? Ignore me, I'm in fairytale Land.

Does Desmodromic ring any bells?

Aye, those rocker arms look like the cam bears on the top middle surface and the tip presses down on the valves. But Duc has made non desmo engines before. This is not their first.

Why would the arms have to do two valves?
I was thinking they were standard rocker type arms for a 8v engine and not a 16v. Regardless, it's the spring valves that are new. (along with the new angle of the V in the engine.)
