If there isn't an option for the whirr of the bevel drives and the megaphone exhausts of a pre-Pantah engine, this poll is worthless. Bigsmile

One of your complaints concerning V-Twins is that the V-Twin configuration results in a rearward weight biass.  How does a V-4 of identical cylinder angle prevent such a weight biass?  Headscratch

For example, how would the Desmosedici engine result in a more forward weight biass than the Testastreta?

To answer the original question, I like the sound of the 998 better than that of the Desmosedici.  I recognize that the Desmosedici is the superior race engine, but the I like the thudding baritone growl of the 998.  I also like the way it sounds like a WWII fighter (Mustang, maybe?) on approach.

Man, that V-4 is spine tingling.  In the "start" clip, when it "gets on the pipe" and begins to wail, it brings tears to my eyes.  I must've listened to that clip 200 times when I was bike shopping.  It drove my family crazy;  over and over and over again.  Geez...I love it....

I shoulda bought a Ducati.

Firstly, is the interest level regarding how *other* sport bikes sound the same as the interest level of how a Ducati sounds, or is the keen interest in how a Ducati sounds, waaayyyy above and beyond any interest on how other sport bikes sound?

That fly by Desmosedici clip sounds more like an F1/Indy car than a v-4 bike. If it is a Desmosedici, it's very sexy, but the 999 at idle/take-off sounds the best of the clips. Too bad the sound of my ST3 on the Sil pipe is not included. That's the best sound of all to my ear.  Lol

Ducati's own V2 and their V4 sport identical cylinder angles... what's different is the length of those
cylinders... V2 sports long cylinders due to 990cc being divided by 2 whereas the V4 sports short cylinders
due to the 990cc being divided up by 4... the shorter the cylinder the more forward weight bias can be
achieved by moving the engine closer to the front contact patch...  

Long V2 cylinders...


Short V4 cylinders...

Aso... I see.  But then it would be even better if the V-4 was designed with a more narrow cylinder angle, like Aprilia's 65o V-4.  Is that correct?  But then twin counterbalancers are required to reduce vibration.  Counterbalancers add weight and sap power.  How does one compensate for that?

A 65º angle V4 would afford an engineer the option of designing the crankshaft closer to the front
contact patch... but that option (as you point out) will add the weight and the complexity of power
sapping counterbalancers... an engineer would compensate by extracking even more power per given
cc... but then again the 90º competition could easily match that rise and then some... so there are
always trade offs in any given design... I believe the 90º V4 offers an engineer the least amount of
trade offs...

I predict that if Aprilia sticks with a 65º V4... they will face the same problems as their 60º V2... not
enough power to match the 90º competition... because you can't spin counterbalancers and top the
field in an all out HP war...

I went to the 2005 MotoGP round at Laguna.  The bike I remember the most is the Kawasaki thrapping down pit lane.  That was cool.

Aplejax and I are heading down again this year (2007) but we are going to work at the track during the races.  Not sure what we'll be doing but I'm looking forward to working the corners.  Nothing like picking up multi-million dollar bikes and multi-million dollar riders.   Thumbsup

IMO, my friend's 750 Laguna Seca with open Conti "silencer" was the best sounding Duc I've heard/ridden.
