The Paton is a DOHC 500cc vertical twin four-stroke road racer. It has never had as much funding as the MV-3 500, but is competition for it. The Paton is probably the current ultimate in vertical twin development. The best attempt at developing a large capacity vertical twin is probably Stuart Garner's 961 Commando. It have been interesting if Battle Of The Twins had not been taken over by watercooled Ducatis - development might have continued in a different direction. - A 750cc Paton ?
