What it excelled at was having torque across the powerband, just like the v4 in my vfr750.

Currently the Ducati Desmosedici RR makes 197.3 hp with 989cc of displacement and has a dry weight of 377.0 lbs.


That is 199.5 hp/l and 1.91 lbs per HP (dry)




The race version makes 230hp with 800cc, thats 287.5 hp/l

Yeah, thats fast
