Yamaha riders, especially Quatararo, have requested more horsepower for years. But Yamaha was afraid it would affect the balance of the chassis and screw up the handling. But with Ducati, Aprilia and KTM now faster they finally gave in and added power. And guess what ? It messed up the handling, particularly rear grip. So now they're trying to figure that out. You can't just change one thing on a GP bike without affecting everything else.

[@macsmith6216]

The bike has plenty power They just can’t get the complete package of electronics,aero and power delivery to work

[@King88_8]

Ducati has power, stability and handling. Everyone has caught up and now surpassed the "Yamaha" cornering speed

[@upsial]

[@azimhamidun]

This is a new trend on youtube using ai and ai voices. If they dont want a copyright violation they have to use a video game.

[@billwiley7216]

Yamaha has been building v-4 engines since the mid 80's both 2 stroke and 4 stroke so its not like they have no experience in the engine configuration.

[@mikeford5106]

From the 1960's actually

[@yarilich544]

A lot of water in the beginning, video from a videogame and technical gibberish. V4 doesn't need any more cylinders and crankshafts than I4. However, it does need an extra cylinder head and a pair of CAMshafts

[@pippy4658]

You need to stop with the misleading titles. They are NOT MAKING A V4. stop trying to trick people into watching your videos and just be genuine.

[@philnolan7193]

I stopped watching after less than 4 minutes, it was clear you are unnecessarily wasting my time. You mentioned legendary riders, but did not say Rossi. And showing footage from a video game really reduces your credibility.

[@vr6volkspower]

Im surprised you haven't talked about yamaha already having a unique inline 4 design with it's cross plane engine compared to every other manufacturers using flat plane

[@dmrtagge6274]

Spoiler: the retired gsx-rr from suzuki in Moto GP also had cross-plane crank so it's not unique in this sport

[@josefilipesampaio]

They retire. Thats made Yamaha unique 😅

[@ronaldkramer475]

Just to add a little more controversy and bickering back and forth. Yes Suzuki did run a crossplane inline 4 in MotoGp but never offered it to the public and selling on its showroom floors a normal flatplane crank inline 4 in the GSXR 1000 in which pretty much hasn't changed much since the liter band got lifted in 2000 when manufacturers were once again allowed to sell liter bikes to the masses legally were as in 2009 YAMAHA offered up the first mass produced crossplane crank inline 4 cylinder engine with that distinctive symphony that mixes that V4 roar with a sprinkle of traditional flatplane inline 4 scream more so leaning towards roar for that truly iconic and unrivaled sound that comes from the exhaust of a R1 because you can always tell when an R1 pulls up, rides by or races past you verses that of a V4 is it Ducati, KTM or Aprilla? Or inline 4 flatplanes, is that a Suzuki, Kawasaki or a Honda but for sure you will always know when an R1 with a crossplane rolls up

[@mrblenksmrblenks3114]

you can almost guarantee Yamaha has already got a working V4......and what's funny is how they never mentioned Rossi....pictures yes but no mention..

[@race-ready]

We did a separate video for the king ROSSI, check it out! 💪

[@cephasirungu9501]

I lost interest in whatever they were saying when i saw the spaniard but no rossi

[@patkennedy1]

Interesting, if a little simplistic in places (as I find this video some time after its first release). This is a topic which gets discussed with a lack of factual information, with factories understandably 'keeping secrets', and most of us having only a minimal understanding of the dynamics of different engine layouts. We are never told whether these GP engines have one, two (or no) balance shafts, and this is an important aspect in the comparisons between V4s and in-lines. Also the unmentioned aspect of the 70 degree offset between the 'two side-by-side V-twins' of the Ducati V4 (and now Aprilia?) engine configurations. And by the way - the crankshaft shown in the Yamaha picture around 9.28 is actually a conventional four cylinder crank - not a 'crossplane'.

[@Andyiswatching]

The M1 of this year looks very strange they need another concept. Honda are struggling but they are on a path to solve the problems. Is important to the sport that the japonese brands stay on the grid

[@cranky1812]

Let's be honest here, Yamaha were racing V4 2 strokes, Yamaha has been lazy from the beginning. They were ok till riders were 80% and motorcycle was 20% of the equation (golden words by Jeremy Burgess). Valentino switched from a V5 to inline 4 and won races and championships. KTM started with V4 and caught up pretty quickly, so it can be done.

[@christiaandelange7214]

I was thinking you are going to reveal some thing. But aag.

[@C--A]

2023 is KTM 7th season in the Motogp class. It's took them over 6 year's to get to where they are now...... Which is best of the rest still a good bit behind Ducati! It will take Yamaha many year's to build a competitive V4 engine Motogp bike.

[@cranky1812]

@@C--A KTM had zero experience with MotoGP racing and V4 engine. Yamaha has been racing for decades.

[@reinerressel975]

Wrong comment etc. a V engine don’t need a additional crankshaft ! The talking about a inline engine and showing a V engine and so on .

[@charlestoast4051]

What a BS clickbait title! How can Yamaha abandon a layout they never used? There's no way they can switch to a V4 now, I suspect Fabio will move to another manufacturer and Yamaha will leave MotoGP.

[@grandtaino]

90% of the video is BS. Yamaha stopped being competitive for a long while. Ducati is not concerned about yamaha at all . KTM and Aprilia are way better bikes right now. I do have a 2021 R1M and a S1Krr M but it is what it is.

[@ma6netho]

a heavyer and narrover V4 can be mounted lower in the frame, then you can brake harder (before the bike flip over), and you can accelerate harder with lower senter of gravity. I also think Ducati has counter rotating engine to the norm. which help ceeping the front wheel down when accellerateing. (On a bmw boxer engine you feel the bike lean sideway when you give gas/trottle, from the gyro effects).

[@johndaroza2987]

How much information Is wrong here ? Each only has one crank shaft . One is smaller and more compact the V4. Most streiat 4 rev higher and make better power at the top. But Yahama has an engine where the crank set is different so it flattens out at the top. The V4 is much narrow and feels better in turns. Each has its problems to overcome. But some information here is just wrong..

[@race-ready]

Totally agree with you John! Sorry if some of the information is wrong, we’ll work on that! 🫡

[@colinculverwell325]

Lin Jarvis said months ago there will be no v four. The cost of developing such an engine from scratch would be way too expensive and take at least five years to be competitive.

[@MrKrishnadevotee]

Video had no substance, clickbait heading

[@azimhamidun]

the reality is inline 4 gives it better grip during corner entry and carry speed throughout the corner. weight is well upfront thus the grip is there. the difference with a v4 is on the exit where the power could be put down earlier due to more weight at the back. motogp is not the same back in 2000's. aero is one of the biggest culprit to yamaha. everyone can match yamaha entry speed with bigger front downforce and and others got the advantage to exit acceleration where yamaha is not even going to match due to its engine configuration.

[@detlefschmidt2221]

[@DerivativesDocumentation]

I have followed thia sport from the start of motogp Era early 2000s. This question of why Yamaha opted inline 4 against V5 of Honda. The reason during that time was Toyota has made significant influence on this decision as it is significant stakeholder in the Yamaha. Toyota used to develop V engine format in F1 and they want Yamaha to stick to Inline format and develop it. Even now Toyota is big stakeholder in Yamaha. They will have a say on all this before Yamaha can spend millions on V4 tech.

[@DennisMerwood-xk8wp]

I have followed this sport from 1964. And I think you pulled this theory out of your behind!

[@DerivativesDocumentation]

@@DennisMerwood-xk8wp in those days also it was a kind of speculation that Toyota is behind the decision. There is no open statement on this.

[@blue03r6]

Arent the v4 bikes allowed to have more engine displacement? I know this used to be the case. If it still is, this is a clear disadvantage for the inline 4. Make them all the same cc

[@dougiequick1]

Sort of funny how a HUGE thing is made out of microscopic differences in performance from one platform to the next. It seems like it by far has more to do with the people running things than whether it is a V4 or inline 4. On a given day an inline 4 kicks ass just not consistantly ....get the right people and budget and rider combo and that could change overnight btw that V4 configuration aint helping Honda much AT ALL.....is it? So much for THAT being the key! It cant be if you ask me.

[@smith2781]

But it’s not just changing the engine layout. It’ll need a new chassis too. Yamaha have never done a V4. When Honda and Ducati have had a V configuration for years. Also it’s worth noting that Suzuki did very well with an in line 4 so I think Yamaha’s problems are more than just the engine layout.

[@user-Terracer]

I like yamaha because they are not afraid to suffer the "penalty for taking the lead".. Which means that they will not only develop new technology, but produce it and sell it - which allows it's competitors (Honda, Kawasaki and Suzuki particularly) to improve on it's ideas on their production machines. Just look at the world of motocross - Yamaha gave us liquid cooling - but put the radiator in the worst possible location.. honda solved that issue by moving it where it resides now on all MX bikes! Yamaha gave us monocross (single shock rear suspension) but located a too large and heavy shock in the worst place. Again, Honda gave us the pro-link - improving on the idea. I have to give yamaha credit - they are bold...

[@ghostbike1]

where is rossi in this

[@maxxpretzy2557]

...honda, ktm, aprilia use v4 engines and where are they now in success ( except honda catering to narcissist marquez )? maybe the inline4 has probably reached a limit in ridability, any hp improvements makes this type of engine a bronco to ride when it's key to put the power down to tire traction...the v4 I ringed necks of gave me the confidence to not highside in just about any type of turn, a pleasure to ride hard while the inline 4 where just unpredictable...always liked the way all of my yamaha's handled ( until my first v4 )...yamaha has got to get on it, fast!

V4 narrower. Simply less frontal area on motorcycle. V4 have a different power pulse. The gaps gives the tyre a rest to grip. Subtle, but every factor must be considered.r
