Utterly pointless yet totally compelling. If anyone ever wondered why 200 horsepower was necessary, here's why

Crazy how in a span of 3-5 years, Ducati went from having one of the slowest Superbike's with regards to straight line speed (1098-1198, not a dig at that bike btw it's one of my personal favorite motorcycles), to the 1199/1299 being near the front of the pack, and then the V4 just mopping the floor with just about everything. And their streetfighter bikes are still the most beautiful and elegant by a long shot!

They're not the best handling/riding bikes, though. I'd still buy my Super Duke again, it's so comfortable and easy to ride. That said, I am trying to figure out why the Ducati needs to be so powerful really, for what's a naked, wide-barred streetbike. The ZH2 in my personal experience isn't as fast as this one seems to be, I wonder if the european version is really that different from the North American one. I did a few roll-ons with my friend this spring and my 1290R pulled a bike length and kept it to over 200kph. I dunno.

When you think that you hardly ever get 100 throttle on the ZH2! It's highly restricted - watch Moore Mafia tuning it! He shows the secondary throttle body position. In 5th (if I remember correctly) you get 100% for about 2,000 rpm up around 10,000 then the ECU begins to close it even though you have it pinned with your right hand...

The current 1301cc engine has already been optimized a couple of times, with thinning materials and internal mass down to the minimum where it still generates the power but isn't unreliable with durability. Going another 100cc in displacement is probably going to require a redo of the entire engine. Assuming they stay with the Vtwin architecture. To my knowledge, there hasn't been any Twin-cylinder engine created over the years from any brand that attempts to be a sports-oriented twin, with around 1400cc or so displacement. Ducati is the only one in recent times who tried to absolutely maximize the horsepower a twin can produce before they just decided a V4 was the way forward for them. At some point your bore diameters get to be so large that it's difficult to fill the cylinder, get combustion expansion rates to also fill the cylinder, produce the power you want, but also spin the engine very fast (requiring a very short stroke due to too-high piston speeds and the limits of metal strength). If you go the direction of longer stroke, you have to limit RPM and then you deal with crazy torque forces trying to not blow the tire away at lower speeds and get hook.
