Unlike Yamaha, Ducati differently. There are still many who do not know the basis used by the motor engine based in Bologna, Italy this. Many people believe that despite wearing the L-twin engine design, Ducati still equipped with 4-cylinder, in fact, 'NO'.
Ducati designed the typical L-Twin engine, equipped only 2 cylinders of each branch where the first L-shaped cylinder capacity of 1000cc motor that uses the same as the 4-cylinder. But over time, the motor 2 cylinder Ducati kinds become 1200cc engine capacity increase. With a large capacity machine that much but only 2 cylinders, each cylinder certainly will have a jumbo size.
Increased capacity of 1200cc, 2 cylinder is possible to compensate for the difference in strength of character with the 1000cc 4-cylinder engine. How not to be added, a Carlos Checa while competing at the Monza circuit which will admit a weakness of character speedway Ducati engine in a fast character like Monza circuit. With the support ducati engine 2-cylinder, 1200cc Checa was pessimistic to be superior to the Yamaha, Honda and other 4-cylinder engine.
Not that kind of a Ducati 2-cylinder engine less power, and overprice know. The difference has to offer Ducati, the Italian motorcycle is made to be unique. Moreover, supported by its desmodromic technology. Which allows the use of valves per cylinder without relief valve like most Japanese motorcycles, ducati with this technology claim that the lack of a model in which the valve can wear out and cause damage to the engine when the piston collides with the valve tip can be minimized.
