«Soft - landing» cam profiles prevent excessive noise, harshness or wear, and the slight «loft» (where the cam throws the valve farther open at high speed) actually improves breathing a bit more at redline.
If you put harley - like camprofiles in a ducati, it would behave like a harley (setting aside the oddly spaced v - configuration of the engine, which would prevent it from sounding remotely similar).
