MV veltro
MV has come up with their ultra-powerful F4 Veltro, a track-only bike with a claimed
200-plus-mph top speed. Only 23 of the 30,000-pound (52,500-dollar) bikes will be built.
Making a claimed 190 bhp, it weighs in at 170 kg (375 lbs). It is a taste of what we can
expect for the homologation special that will be built to allow them to compete in World
Superbike races in the future. Expect the race-ready machine to cost over 40,000 pounds
(70,000 dollars) and have an engine producing 220 bhp!

How else would they get any press? This one is actually getting them into racing.

Are they really going to run competitively with a single-side swingarm? </TD></TR></TABLE>
There have been others that raced with the single-sided swingarm, the RC30 and RC45 for instance.
If MV Agusta actually goes through campaigning this bike it would be fantastic. Much smarter than Aprilia trying to jump directly into Moto GP only to run out of money. I kind of wonder if super-homologated specials like this will touch off a technology war in superbike racing though. Remember, the Desmosedici is coming in the not too distant future.

Neither of those won much in WSB either, which is supposedly where this MV is headed. They were beaten, of course, by the 916/996/998, which used a single sided swingarm as well....But Ducati even switched to a dual-sided. It is much easier to tune a dual-sided swingarm for flex in a single plane. Very difficult to do the same with a single sided swingarm.

Eh? The RC30 won the rider's championship in '88 and '89 with Fred Merkel riding and the constructor's championship in '88, '89, and '90. The RC45 was the one that didn't win much in WSBK, but even then John Kocinski took it to a championship (rider's and manufacturers) in '97.

I stand somewhat corrected/clarified.
