It sounds like whatever engine they've got too many sitting around at the time gets forced into a monster frame.

Except they created a whole new monster for the 1098 called the Diavel

I've seen a few projects online where they put 1098 engines in 996 frames.

Apparently the engine mounting points have stayed exactly the same from 916 through 1198.

Yeah I've seen those as well. I bet that will all change with the new symetrical vertical 90 degree motor going into the new superbike. That might make it even harder to check the rear (both vertical now) cylinder valves.

What's a symmetrical vertical 90 degree motor?

I haven't read anything about the next generation engine yet.

Still 90 degree but not the "L" twin. Sits in the chassis like Aprilia, hardly dangerous, etc etc

So are they rotating the engine backwards, so that the rear cylinder is more at a 45 degree angle?

That would make sense, then they can move the engine further forward for more weight on the front?

Do you know if they still will be using cam belts?

That looks almost like a list of the four valve versions. The Monster also came in two valve versions at the same time: S2 etc. The 1100 is a two valve and I think the 796(?), they don't make the four valve Monsters any more. These days we have the Streetfighter instead.

2 valve list was quoted by thread starter apart from the 750, 796 and 1100
