When would the thing be eligible?
They said same bike for 2018. I assume that means new bike for 2019...
AFAIK the plan is to release an R model that's shorter stroke to meet the displacement limit, scheduled for the '19 season.
'18 is still 1199 Pani L-twins for Chaz and Marco.
I can't wait to see what Chaz can do with a V4 bike.
