really? a v4 is only an il4 sliced a bit differently. all otehr thign being equal the performance will likely be identical, it's just that a vfr is more mid-rangey because if bore/stroke & other tuning considerations
I would say that a v4 for the road is a pita because of the compliacted engine, cooling, exhaust, etc. it makes sense for a race bike for the lower frontal area
a road deisgned/tuned engine is, however, better for the road than a race-derived one. which is what the vrf engine is. being a v4 is rather incidental & disingenuous
