There are a few paragraphs in the new RRW issue with DMG's side of the "bent" rules.
The last bit makes a little bit of sense in that DMG says it would work with any maufacturer who'd put a "factory" bike up for sale to the "racing" public. Like that bad a$$ GSXR in this thread!
The quote is something to the effect that a $40K factory bike is a lot less then what the privateers are already spending at this point.
I don't know if it's true but it makes a wee bit of sense.
Shoot, the Ducati is $40k before you bolt a single piece of unobtanium on the beast.
Otherwise these cats have screwed the pooch.
Are the races on TV this weekend?
