1390cc

That'll rip your arms off
To be fair, the 1290 did a good enough job of that..

No thanks. The single sided swingarm couldn't cope with the torque of the 1290, it always wheelied toward the central reservation!!

I was listening to Chaz Davies a few months ago who is heavily involved in helping Ducati develop the V4 Panigale as an endurance racer. He said at the Le Mans 24 hour race they had to change the swingarm as Ducati could not guarantee it would survive 24 hours of non stop racing.
