Yes, still a 90-degree motor, but did anyone else notice that the engine on the stand seemed to be rotated backwards to give a more-conventional vee configuration? I couldn't be sure of the angle of the datum line provided by the script on the clutch case, 'cos there were just too many atmospheric soft-focus close-ups....

It's obvious that the only thrust of Ducati is top-end bhp, with masses of high-tech gizmos to make the thing rideable at more modest speeds, but I guess that's what sells bikes these days. Probably it was always that way, and only the technology has changed.
