Re: Benelli Back at It
It is great seeing the Benelli name back in the fray with something other than the "Sei" Honda knockoff six cylinder bike. I think the 900cc triple has a more realistic chance of success in WSB than the MV would ever have. The biggest problem for the MV is the radial valve layout does not have good thermal efficency, as Ferrari has found out in World Sports Car endurance racing with it's F333(?) cars that loose on the order of 150-225 hp after a limited time on the track, due to cooling problems associated with the radial valve configuration.
This may not prove a problem in the motorcycles, as it has in the cars.
In any matter, I look forward to seeing them on the track again.
