Not showing enough of the engine for me to be interested. Be watching for more info. USA dealers??????
I certainly agree, on a classically designed MC the engine is the visual focus of the eye.
Unfortunately, the V4 is not a classic design.
The V4CR is just a cynical attempt to pay homage to vintage/classic cafe racers of the past.
The only vintage/classic thing that would be on a V4CR is the rider on the seat, presumably.
Modern design says, f**k the appearance! The functionality, power, handling, and reliability are paramount!
That's why you'll find most superbike engines buried under modern perimeter chassis elements, radiators, and various plastic bits.
The plastic bits cover the truly ugly elements that even the youngsters who buy sportbikes don't want to see.
I'll be watching for the Hooligan version of the V4CR, the V4H, then crying cause I can't afford it.
Not holding my breath for a USA dealer.
