Quick question about engines..

Ok, so they might be bringing out the new cagiva mito 500 although at the moment it is a concept bike. Now, they say it is a single cylinder 4-stroke, my question is... is this bike going to sound like a thumper i.e ktm duke 640? or is it going to sound like a sports bike? im a bit cloudy on this. cheers.

if its the latter, im definately going to purchase one, being scared of larger bikes. lol.

yeh but in a sports bike chassis? wont it look a bit silly? i wish it would be an inline 4

anyhoo, the handling will be amazing on this machine, well apparently anyway.

Hmm, not keen.

Looks a bit skinny in places where I'd want it to look fatter.

Also dont like the rear. Looks a bit dated.
