Agreed, but for many Ducati = V-Twin

If/when Ducati do bring out a V4, I wouldn't hold your breath until it's dropped into a Sport Tourer. People have been saying that the top of the range ST should have a testastretta motor for years and we still ain't got one.

But I agree with BDG, a testastretta would make a lovely engine for an ST. With that and a few styling changes to make it look sexy it would compete with the Triumph - which I agree, seems to be the best of the current crop.

Now if they'd only bring out a 'big bang' V4 with all the power of a IL4, but the drive and traction of a V-twin out of corners, then you'd be talking
