We're entering a new world order...in MotoGP. Yes, gone are the days when everyone and their mother used high-displacement, high-revving, inline motors. Rather, Ducati—of all companies—showed the way forward with its V4 motors. And now everyone's following suit as they race (pun intended) to catch the team from Borgo Panigale which is just dominating the field.
The last holdout was Yamaha, and I get why. I mean, you cannot deny that the crossplane yowl of the Yamahas wasn't anything short of iconic. You could tell exactly where the Yamahas were on track, and on the street, it's easily one of the best sounding motorcycle engines around.
I still dream of my time with the MT-10, and that was nearly 8 years ago.
