Check out the relative size of the Irving Vincent against what appears to be a Ducati 1098 at last year's AHRMA Battle of the Twins race at Daytona. The Vincent, operated by Craig McMartin, took the win on the 2nd day.
A 4-valve head is in development and may appear in this year's Daytona race. This engine has dyno'd at 180 hp and 140 ft lbs. of torque.
How about a race involving?: BMW HP2 Sport vs. Guzzi MGS-01 vs. Irving Vincent vs. Wakan
Why does the BoT not get the proper coverage it deserves?

This is a great hot rod in a fantastically tiny package....

BoT doesn't get the coverage it deserves because the sheer visceral joy of two coffee can sized cylinders smiting out the foot-pounds by the shitpotfull just off idle is disdained and misunderstood by the MaxHorsepower/16K RPM crowd (who purchase many, many, bikes based solely on spec-sheet HP and Bold! New! Graphics!).
