Proof once more that fag packet livery just looks nicer. Pipe and carbon wheels are nice too

Was Prilla's aero that everyone else copied. Slight ground effect and cooling/heating tyres

When I look at the name, I can't help wondering why they named it after a skin disease.

That certainly puts Ducati's latest Panigale V4 in its place. Only trouble is, you'd need to be at least a National class racer to appreciate the dynamics of it. It would be wasted on 99% of riders.

I've not read the blurb, but I imagine that exhaust is just to make it look a little bit like a two stroke?

Yes but you get some extra's with it :D
In addition to their limited and numbered RSV4, they will receive a Yashi laptop, a personalised bike cover, a dedicated carpet, and a rear stand.

I doubt it's aimed at 99% of riders. WSBK homologation special,Superstock,World Endurance?

I fear 99% of them won;t be ridden at all, by their first owners at least.

Will 30 units get them homologated for any series?
