i hear that the motorcycle engines made by the italian company, Ducati are superior to other engines of the same class is there any truth to this and if so why
 
i dont know... but ktm motocycles are the same way... its something about the european technology...

i guess they're built a little differently...
 
Well a) V-Twins sound cooler, and b) they'd want to be effing better when you're paying 50 grand for a bloody bike...
 
Hey there.

Ducatis tend to have higher compression ratios, which mean more power per stroke.

Also, they make quite non-standard engine sizes as has been stated, not many sports bike manufacturers make engines like the 1098cc.

Hope this helps. :)
 
Well Ducati uses only V-Twins. The competing Japanese literbikes utilize inlines.

Ducati cheats though. They compete thier 848 with 600cc, and their 1098 with the Japanese 1000ccs.

They have an 1198 as well.

VTwins used to boast more torque, but with Yamaha's new crossplane crankshaft making massive torque without sacrificing top end, Ducati is in trouble.
