Maybe Oxley is onto something with the V4 thing?
Remember when Rossi went to Yamaha and then picked the engine he wanted in 2004 ?
Just maybe the bike has just run its course after 14 yrs ?
It has never been over powered like a Doocati has it .
Rule changes and Michelins may have nailed up the coffin ?
(speaking from my couch and not being a technician).
