I'm excited to see this bike, although I lament the passing of the traditional Duc engine configuration. I guess just as with the 996, time marches on.

It's still a 90 degree V-twin. Still has desmodromic valve actuation...

Really poor choice of wording, sorry. I'll miss the rattling of the dry clutch.

I won't miss the grabby nature of a dry clutch on a tall-geared twin. Dry clutches on Japanese fours aren't bad but both my Ducatis were a pain.

Timing belts don't belong on any engine. And, I like the longer service intervals they promise on this one.
