But whodathunkit would be from Ducati? http://www.ducati.com/en/testastretta_DVT/index.do
LOL - The worlds biggest PITA valve train just got more complicated.
Kawi has used the technology, but not on the SS/SB products ... Who wants to bet BMW will be next?

think the Audi ownership certainly helped get this onto a bike
Its showing decent figures , let's see what it's like in reality

I have to agree with you Nerd, Ducati obviously only continue with the Desmo valves train for legacy reasons.
Probably effective in its day but when the Japanese manage to get a valve to close under spring load at 19000 RPM why continue with something so complicated.

Fit a ignition cut out quick shifter on your 1290 and you have variable valve timing also!
