Gear driven cams

I asked that question in May 2010, [look back at the post] but got no confirmation from any of you as to whether the next generation of V twins were to be of that design.
So, was I right or wrong?

Will the next generation of sports Ducatis have aluminium frames?
[ Moto GP will ]

Oh I certainly made a few comments under that post, like to know what the new Superbike is going to cost to see how it fits with my comments.
Got the VR on a Ducati bit right but still no cheaper Ducati V4

As for Alloy frames, be a shame to go the same way as the Jap bikes, BMWs Aprilias, MVs etc, but if needs must. At least a Alloy frame works better with gear driven cams as regular access to do the belts isn't going to be required

Looks like I was wrong on gear driven cams, as 1198 has chain drive to a gear in the head, then driving each cam.

Similar to my old TL1000SV of 1997 vintage
