I dunno man, my instincts are pretty good at spotting talent, and my Spidey senses tell me this guy is a bit of a savant in limited areas. I think he has an obsession with perfection, and and ego that says “I can make this better” with just enough racing pedigree to potentially build something cool.

He may also be the kind of guy that can’t get out of his own way, and not have any clue on how to monetize what he’s doing, or even care if he does. So we may never know if he’s got a narrow band of genius or see anything out of it useful to us.

But my spidey sense tells me there is something there. Something epic or earth shattering probably not, but I think the guy has enough talent and ego and pride in himself to probably build a few cool engines.

Plenty of talented people out there that do really cool stuff within their narrow bandwidth that never turn it into anything, but that doesn’t make their work any less cool or good.

Might be wrong, but I’m curious enough to keep an eye on him and see where it goes.

I also don’t think it would be that hard to get 238 to the wheels on these bikes if you are willing to put in the work and attention to detail.

We’ll see I guess…as an aside, I’m not vouching for the guy, I’m just saying that I feel like there’s enough meat on the bone in the guys background to keep an eye on him, he might come up with something useful…you guys .... on Deussen a bit when he 1st showed up, and he’s proven to be a helpful contributor lol

Not everything new is bad just because it’s new haha

Can you quote a post of mine shitting on @DeussenEngines ?

Also, v4 extreme has been making claims for over 6 months, and there isn’t one piece of objective data - not one dyno plot or lap time or time slip to backup the claim?

Not one?

And without it, we can’t even begin to consider the next logical question:

“Ok, it makes 265 hp to the tire. Very impressive… for how long? How long between rebuilds - 100 miles… 1000 miles… 10,000 miles?”

The Ducati maintenance schedule for rebuilds for the stock motor under “race” conditions is something like 3000 miles.

Agreed to all, I’m jus sayin I’m curious enough to keep an eye on him because of his pedigree.

On a side note to Endo’s point, I think there’s a reason we are seeing HP hover around where it is for so long, at some points the physics of so much power have reached the limits of what a mortal can manage and if you manage it using electronic Nannie’s you are cutting the power you spent money to develop.

What limits horsepower is the maintenance schedule and tires. Remember these are designed as euro 5 compliant street bikes.

ZX10RR allegedly gets +20 hp with a race pipe and remap that's how strangled they are with Euro5
