Jack Miller calls Yamaha V4 engine debate “a fad”
“There are pros and cons to everything”

Pramac Yamaha MotoGP rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller say🤪s the debate over whether or not a V4 or an inline four-cylinder engine is better “is a fad”.
Yamaha caused a sꦕtir late last year when it announced it was working on a V4 programme for the first time in the modern era, having previously stuck to ꦜits inline four engine philosophy.
The only manufacturer on the grid with that engine configuration, Yamaha has been quizzed for a number of ✨years about switching to a V4.
While there is no track debut in sight for Yamaha’s new V4, Pramac rider Miller believes the inli✅ne four “is strong” having come from V4s at Honda, Ducati and KTM.
“Not so much. You ride every bike differently,” he said when 📖asked at the recent Sepang pre-season test if he has needed to adjust his riding style to the inline four.
“As a rider, you understand what the bike needs. My ridꦉing style hasn’t changed𓃲.
“You ride how♑ the bike allows you to. If it allows maximum corner speed, that’s what you do. If you realise ‘s*** I can turn’ you keep working in that direction.
“Most motorcycle riders can work that out. We’re simple fellas but we can wꦐork t♎hat out.
It’s easy to work out what the bike w🌌ants fro🔴m you. The character of the engine is different.
“But it’s awesome to step onto one of these things. It’s different, the power curve. It’s a considera🌱ble amount different even to the bike I rode in Barcelona.
“Iᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𝄹ᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ have rode screamers, big bangs, and now an inline.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a Yamaha 450, a Honda 450, or a motocross bike - the power curve is 🍌always different.
“It does what it does very well. I believe this whole ‘V4 or no V4’ is a fad. I don’t believe it’s set in s🐈tone that you need a V4.
“There are pros aꦜnd conꦫs to everything. The inline-4 that we have, at the moment, is strong.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo recently cautioned that a V4 won’t f🎃ix all of Yamaha’s problems, pointing to the fact Honda has run V4s for years and is even further behind in the competitive orde♓r.
At the Sepang test, Yamaha looked to have made clear progress with its M1, with Quartararo's form in particular catching the eye of Ducati team boss David Tardoz𓆏zi.
Testing continues this week at Buriram in Thailand on 12-13 February, with th🐲e opening round of the season taki𒅌ng place at the same venue on 28 February - 2 March.
