“Once again, they’ve got to be supported. They can’t just put them out there and walk away from them so only the factory teams can run the bits and pieces. You’ve got to support them and back them. They’re [Buell] willing to support mechanisms in place to support these bikes. As long as people are willing to do that and the thing doesn’t…are we going to allow the Moto Czysz in with a $130,000 bike? No, that’s not going to happen, but if Honda wants to do a CBR1000RR-R with some bits and pieces that make it more suitable for AMA racing and the price isn’t out of line and they’re willing to support it, we would certainly consider it.”

this, from the very guy who wouldn't allow homologation of the the R1 LE.
I can't find a clip of Belushi saying bullshit.

I guess a D16RR would be out as well.
He did say they had to be supported  Grin...and i think $40K was mentioned

F DMG and F AMA racing.  WSBK and Moto GP are where it's at and ALWAYS will be!
