I think that's my number 1 beef with the rule set. It seems like it should be as simple as

2 cyl = XXX displacement
3 cyl = YYY displacement
4 cyl = ZZZ displacement
5 cyl = WWW displacement

Manufacturer should never be mentioned in the rule, neither is engine layout. Boxers or Vs or Ls get whatever the limit for that number of cylinders is. Any colossal advantages could be remedied by weight restrictions as seasons progress.

They do the same thing to a certain extent in Gram Am road racing. In the DP class, a manufacturer engine must be submitted for approval and they come up with a formula for it, then in the case of Porsche, change it every race.

<Secret H-D Executive Meeting>

Chairman Barry Allen - "We're in some deep shit, guys."

CEO Kieth Wandell - "No fooling, the toilet in the Executive Washroom won't flush. Why won't the make the beast with two backsing janitor fix it?"

CFO John Olin - "Kieth, you're an idiot. You fired him 2 weeks ago to cut costs!"

CEO Keith - "Oh....Um.... I forgot about that."

CFO John - "We're bleeding money, dammit! Can't we get a Government Bailout^tm?"

Chmn Barry - "John, you're even more of a moron than Keith.
We already sold $600M of bad debt. By the way, what do we have to show for it?"

CFO John - "Well, I bought a shiny helicopter."

CEO Keith - "Sweet! When can you take me for a ride?"

Chmn Barry - "You guys are dumber than a sack of hammers.
We've got a problem, what in the hell are we going to do about it?"

CEO Keith - "Jesus, Barry, no need to get all hot under the collar.
It's Buell, that shit is dragging us down."

CFO John - "Let's shut Buell down, that will save us a bunch of money!"

Chmn Barry - "John, how much will that save us?"

CFO John - "I have no idea."

CEO Keith - "Yeah, Buell! He's a witch!"

CFO John - "Burn him!"

Chmn Barry - "YES! BURN HIM!"

CFO John - "All our worries are over!"

CEO Keith - "Whew! I thought it was going to be hard to get out of this mess."

Chmn Barry - "Indeed, we're in the clear. Meeting adjourned!"

One of the dealers is letting an 1125r go for $6k. Wife said I could get it but have to trade the duc. I can't part with the duc for that ugly thing. How will parts availability be in 3 years?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I just checked the local dealer here....2009 1125cr $5,995. Shocked

Just spoke to Glendale Harley: 1125CR = $6995.00. Two left; one black, one red.

If I didn't have a pile of medical bills due to my wreck last month, I'd be buying a 1125CR NOW!!!!

After reading this post I drove by my local buell dealer and their remaining stock of buells where on the front lawn on sale. I have admit I really like the looks of the lightning bikes and was going to purchase one before I fell head over heels for Ducati motorcycles.
I pulled into the parking lot behind the row of about 7 buell motorcycles, directly behind an all black lightning,they look a lot better now than when I first looked to buy one in 06', and I have $5k cash and almost went in to haggle and try to get that lightning, but I didn't get out of my truck. I think I'll try to get a friend to buy one instead.
