I'm sure it's lovely, but a single-sided swingarm? Sure, I probably couldn't tell the difference - but for a race-replica, it seems to be a step backwards, not forwards.
I actually liked the 999 - it grew on me over time, even if the price / performance ratio was simply retarded.
By the way, I know it's inferior - but *why* is a V-2 objectively worse than a V-4? I know it is, in terms of specific output, but what's the reason? Is it valve area (i.e., lower flow), inferior combustion-chamber dynamics, or what?
