Duc's have L-Twin & not V-Twin, hope you intended to say that. Price??? IMO, its much justified for the value it delivers & ofcourse a part of it goes to the branding like any manufacturer charges.

PS - Never expected this reply from you Satya!!!

Wikipedia : Generally, any two-cylinder motorcycle
engine with its two cylinders at an
equidistant opposite angles from the
center rotation of the crankshaft is
referred to as a V-twin. The Ducati V-
twin is unique in that the "V" is tilted forward so the front cylider is nearly
parallel to the ground, leading many to
refer to it as an "L-Twin" engine
instead. Either usage is correct since a
"V-twin" engine is not designated by a
specific angle.

But yes, when someone says 'L twin' ,its obvious that he is refering to a ducati.

Oops!

I don't hate Ducati, never! But the thing is the V or L twin does not excite me a lot. I like V four though. I love the design of Ducatis.

But the fact is we must have cheaper Ducatis in India.
