I noticed your preference for straight 4s, but aren't they a bit bland until you get to high revs? With a big twin you can have more drama at lower revs. All that thumping. Have you tried a big twin? And what's wrong with Italian? Prillers tend to have more sensible servicing and spares bills than Ducatis.

It’s a little tongue-in-cheek. I know from acquaintances with Aprilia that they love them.
On one hand I’d like to learn what that drama feels like, but let’s just say with my riding behaviour I think that a V would throw me off for being a dick.
I like that a 4 gives the sedate town-traffic mule thing, until you crack it open and it wakes up. That appeals to me, to have both available without a wheel breaking loose at every stop sign.

Two issues, first it’s Italian, and second I should have specified I should like to stick to straight 4’s.
